I’m a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of experience in healthcare. My background in both physical and mental health has shaped the way I practice: I believe in caring for the whole person, not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. I work with adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, stress, mental health concerns related to perimenopause and menopause, and difficulty navigating life transitions. I take an open-minded, compassionate approach and want my clients to feel heard, understood, and comfortable being themselves. I am committed to providing thoughtful mental health care that recognizes the important connection between physical health, emotional well-being, lifestyle, and environment.

As a PMHNP-BC who specializes in autism, complex cases, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use, I've built my practice around understanding that every person's mental health journey is unique—especially when multiple conditions interact or when traditional approaches haven't worked.

I also provide comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder, always with an understanding that these conditions often overlap and influence each other in complex ways. What I want you to know is this: your experiences are valid, your struggles make sense in the context of your life, and there's no such thing as being "too much" for treatment.

Whether you're masking autistic traits, battling compulsive behaviors, managing intense emotions, processing trauma, questioning reality, or struggling with substances, I meet you exactly where you are without trying to force you into a predetermined mold. My approach combines evidence-based treatments with deep respect for your individual needs and experiences.

You deserve a provider who doesn't see complexity as a problem to solve, but as a roadmap to understanding how to best support your unique path to wellness.
