Thank you for being here. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to supporting individuals across all stages of life as they navigate mental health challenges. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, creating personalized care plans that help each person move forward in a way that feels right for them.
My approach is warm, approachable, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences and exploring your goals without judgment. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I prioritize making the process supportive, informative, and empowering.
I provide medication management and supportive therapy, working closely with patients to ensure they fully understand their diagnosis and treatment options. If medication is part of your care, we will take time to thoughtfully discuss choices so you can make informed decisions that align with your needs.
I began my journey in mental health before becoming a nurse, working in group homes supporting individuals with disabilities and mental health needs. This experience led me to pursue nursing and advanced practice. Over the past 26 years, I have worked in a variety of settings including corrections, complex medical and mental health group homes, SPMI board and lodge, inpatient care, educational settings, university environments, and private practice.
My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout your care. Together we will explore your concerns, develop a treatment plan, and work toward meaningful progress in a supportive and compassionate space.
