(She/Her)

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

PMHNP

Currently accepting new clients. 

Clients I Work With

People I have worked with often present with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, or stress-related symptoms that impair their daily functioning, work, or relationships. They want accurate psychiatric assessment, clear diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment, including thoughtful medication management when indicated. Their goal is symptom reduction, improved functioning, and sustained emotional stability; to be clear-headed and emotionally balanced so they can function well and regain control of their life!

Approach

I help adults feel more stable and supported through careful psychiatric evaluation and evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns. I offer thoughtful medication management when appropriate, and collaborative telehealth care, focused on relief, clarity, and improved daily functioning.
