I’ve been in private practice for nearly 20 years….but there is more than an education or experience.  My work has been filled with the lives of people I have been able to witness heal traumas, or find a new journey, or come to themselves more fully.  Counseling may bring relief, recovery, tools to use or release from pain. Healing is a pathway and I get to walk beside you. I will hold the hope until you can hold it, and I will be honored to go on your journey with you. 

I’ve always carried a deep desire to help people. My first career law enforcement. However, it did not really allow me to really dig in with individuals and help them make changes so they were not continuing the same cycles over and over. I returned to school and pursued my education in behavioral science and then mental health counseling, graduating with my Master’s degree in 2013. I've treated clients in residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, community mental health, and in a low to high security, all male state prison. I've worked with individuals from every walk of life. As a therapist and human being I’m always motivated to learn and grow. One of my passions is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I have been trained in and previously held certification in the Equine Assisted Growth & Education model. I also earned my EAGALA Military Services Designation to provide culturally competent services to our military members and their families. Another passion is working with our first responders, giving back to those to give so much daily.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner through the ANCC with a multi-state license (FL,MT,AZ,WA, and more). My philosophy centers on holistic care, addressing immediate crises and the entire person. I am dedicated to educating others on the vital importance of mental health, equating it with physical health in its significance. I believe everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling life, regardless of their circumstances, choices, or past experiences. Our mission is to make quality mental health care accessible to all. Our clients benefit from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including CBT and DBT. I specialize in Cognitive and Dialectal Behavior Therapy treatment methods (CBT and DBT). I provide treatment for medication management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, and addiction/substance abuse. The first session is an initial evaluation, which includes developing a treatment plan. Subsequent sessions include medication management and ongoing assessment of treatment effectiveness. We provide virtual and in-person treatment sessions .(* NO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES THROUGH TELEHEALTH) TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, my approach to patient care centers around compassion and collaboration. I believe in treating each person as a whole, considering their unique experiences and needs. I engage actively with my patients, ensuring they feel heard and involved in their treatment journey. My core values include empathy, respect, and integrity. I use evidence-based practices to develop personalized treatment plans, combining medication management with various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, I strive to create a supportive environment where patients can thrive and reclaim their mental wellness.

I have over a decade of experience working as a healthcare professional working the LBGTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and my specialties include: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, grief, and trauma. I combine my psychiatric and psychotherapy work together, to treat my clients through an integrative approach that works to treat the entire challenge you’re facing, from a medicinal but also therapeutic way. I believe we're all products of the environment we grew up in, but it is up to us as individuals, to grow and learn about ourselves, so we can become the healthiest, and best versions of who we hope to be. My office is a judgement-free place, where I will help you improve your quality of mental help, and support you on your journey towards a happier, healthier life. I work with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, grief, and trauma.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I am a therapist in Florida that is also licensed in Oregon, Washington, and Kentucky.
