Hello! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My passion as a provider is caring for diverse populations, including children, LGBTQ+ individuals, preconception, peripartum, and postpartum women, and individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. I aim to make you feel as open and comfortable as possible and provide a non-judgmental environment where you feel heard. Together, we can create a treatment plan based on your goals and symptoms so you can return to living a life you love! I take careful consideration of your needs and desires regarding medications and try to find something that allows you to function adequately, has a manageable side effect profile, and targets your particular set of symptoms. Please note I do not prescribe daily benzodiazepines (clonazepam, alprazolam, Valium, etc.) or hypnotic sleep aids.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Reaching out for help can be daunting, and I applaud you for taking this initial step toward living a more rewarding life. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working closely with you to ensure that your treatment goals are always my priority. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of anxiety and have extensive experience with adults dealing with trauma exposure, such as victims of crime, domestic violence survivors, and combat veterans. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to work with parents to enhance the parent-child relationship and address issues related to child non-compliance, aggression, and school behaviors, as well as supporting adults struggling with depression, relationship difficulties, and work-life balance issues. I understand that it takes tremendous courage to change, and I would be honored to assist you as you strive for a more fulfilling, rewarding, and enjoyable life.
