I look forward to meeting with you to help you to identify and understand your problems. I will guide you through healthy coping, self-care, and improved relationships.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults on their mental health journeys.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe that understanding yourself is the foundation of healing, and I focus on giving my clients practical tools, education, and guidance they can use every day—not just during sessions.
In our first session, I take the time to truly listen and understand your story, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll create a personalized and realistic treatment plan designed to support your growth, emotional well-being, and long-term success.
I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward. My goal is to help you build confidence, develop lasting skills, and become the strongest version of yourself—one step at a time.

I believe therapy is the most successful when a relationship is formed between me and the client. Therefore, in addition to helping you cope with your mental health, I also try to focus on the relationship and what comes up in session live time.
Welcome! I approach my work with clients from a relational, evidence-based perspective; while I want to use research-based interventions to help you in your therapy journey, I also recognize the importance of the therapeutic relationship itself. The space I try to build with clients is warm, supportive, humorous, and actively engaging. I see clients for both short and long term therapeutic interventions depending on need.
