Welcome!
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate care for both children and adults facing life’s challenges. Whether it’s the big emotions of growing up, the stress of daily responsibilities, or feelings of worry, sadness, or frustration, I offer a safe and supportive space to be heard. My goal is to work alongside you or your child to build resilience, restore balance, and develop practical strategies for emotional well-being.
My Unique Approach to Care…
What makes my practice unique is my commitment to holistic, integrative care that looks at the whole person—not just the symptoms. As An APRN with over 10 years of experience, I draw on both evidence-based treatments and supportive lifestyle approaches to create individualized care plans. I believe mental health is deeply connected to physical health, relationships, and daily life, and I take the time to understand each person’s unique story. My goal is to help children, teens, and adults build resilience, restore balance, and find lasting strategies for emotional well-being.

I specialize in assessing and treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions that affect children, teens, and adults. Through thoughtful and thorough evaluation, I work to understand each individual’s unique needs and collaborate closely with patients and families to create personalized treatment plans. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies with a holistic perspective, addressing not only symptoms but also the broader influences on mental health—such as lifestyle, environment, and relationships. This allows me to develop effective strategies that support emotional well-being, resilience, and long-term success in daily life.
