PMHNP , APRN

Clients I Work With

I specialize in working with a diverse range of individuals, including younger/older adults, children aged 6 and up, women dealing specifically with trauma and abuse, and veterans, as well as active-duty personnel experiencing PTSD. As a certified ADHD specialist, I provide targeted, evidence-based interventions to help individuals improve focus and daily functioning. I also have extensive experience treating bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, panic disorder, OCD, and other complex mental health conditions.

Approach

Taking the first step towards improving your mental health is significant, whether you're feeling empowered, confused, or apprehensive about it. My approach is to work collaboratively with you to identify the challenges you face and set realistic goals—both short-term and long-term. Together, we will explore various options and strategies tailored to help you achieve these objectives.
