Here to Help You Heal
Psychiatry, at its best, treats the whole person, not just a set of symptoms. As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I bring a modern, integrative lens to medication management, combining advanced psychopharmacology with evidence-based lifestyle interventions to help you find lasting stability.
My practice centers on adults and young professionals navigating some of life's most demanding transitions: career changes, burnout, grief and loss, and mood and anxiety disorders that can make even ordinary days feel unmanageable. I also have a deep commitment to serving veterans and healthcare workers, two populations I understand carry their own particular weight and complexity.
Whatever brings you here, you can expect care that is thorough, individualized, and rooted in respect. I believe the relationship between patient and clinician matters as much as any prescription, and I'm here to be a steady, empathetic, and committed partner. I look forward to supporting you as you navigate life's challenges, reclaim your sense of balance, and move toward meaningful healing.
My Approach to Care
What drives this work, for me, is a genuine belief that healing requires treating the whole person — biology, life experience, and personal goals all in conversation with one another. That belief shapes everything about how I practice.
You are an active partner in your care, not a passive recipient of it. Sessions are thorough and collaborative by design, as I take time to listen to your needs and celebrate your victories, allowing me to tailor every treatment plan to your unique circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework. Advanced psychopharmacology is a core part of my practice, and I pair it with a supportive, solution-focused approach to help you move toward symptom stability, emotional resilience, and a clearer sense of direction.
Patient autonomy matters deeply to me, which is why my approach is grounded and practical, empowering you in your own healing and long-term mental resilience. I'm here to collaborate and help you make informed decisions about your care, because the best outcomes happen when we're building something together.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to psychiatry began in a Burn Unit, where I spent years caring for patients navigating severe, life-altering physical trauma. That work taught me something I carry into every session today: true recovery requires addressing the mind just as thoroughly as the body. The two cannot be separated.
Witnessing that reality firsthand sparked my commitment to becoming a psychiatric clinician and deepened my passion for working alongside trauma survivors. The thoroughness, empathy, and dedication that shaped my early nursing practice came with me into this work, and continue to guide the care I bring to you.
Personal Interests
When I'm not working, I'm usually spending time with the people I care about, exploring whatever the local food scene has to offer, watching a good movie, or planning the next trip somewhere new. Music has always been part of my life — I play guitar — and I stay active through regular exercise.
