I am a compassionate and experienced ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to providing high-quality mental health care. With over 15 years of nursing experience, I have had the privilege of caring for diverse populations across Florida, gaining valuable expertise in understanding and addressing a wide range of mental health needs. Currently, I focus on delivering virtual psychiatric care to patients in both Florida and Colorado, helping individuals access the support they need from the comfort of their homes. My approach emphasizes creating individualized treatment plans tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals, always prioritizing a client-centered, empathetic approach to care. Whether working with those facing anxiety, depression, or other challenges, my mission is to empower patients to achieve improved mental well-being and a better quality of life.

Hello and welcome! Navigating life transitions and interpersonal relationships can feel overwhelming and complex, especially for those with marginalized experiences. As a clinician, it is one of my priorities to provide therapeutic support that is culturally responsive and tailored to your individual life experiences, identities, and needs. My focus areas include working through intergenerational trauma, navigating complex family dynamics, and supporting those trying to break out of harmful cycles. I also enjoy helping clients through life changes or transitions, relationship conflicts, attachment issues, challenges with self-esteem, and anxiety and trauma disorders. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is collaborative and fosters a safe space for learning, unlearning, and healing. While starting this process can feel challenging, with the right therapist, it can be a journey that brings meaningful changes and fulfillment to your life. I'd be honored to walk that journey alongside you!

As a therapist, I bring authenticity and humor into our time together. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and opening up to work on your goals. I will strive to name and provide the words that empower you to speak about your experiences and help reduce any shame, guilt, or stigma you may be carrying. Although those emotions are a heavy burden to carry alone, I look forward to sharing the weight and helping you feel more confident and in control moving forward. Therapy is about you, and you are the expert on yourself; I am a guide to help you explore in a validating and supportive space. I utilize person-centered therapy, which focuses on unconditional positive regard. As humans, we make mistakes, and I am here to help you recognize what other factors contributed to your behavior to enable the change you desire. When I am not providing therapy, you can catch me out hiking, going to cultural events, and learning to play the ukulele. I am originally from Alaska but fell in love with the Colorado sunshine and am content to see the mountains a little bit further away. I’m a happy plant mom of 20, and yes, they are all flourishing.

I love helping individuals unravel their stories, take a closer look, and rewrite narratives that feel true to them. Each person’s journey is unique, and I find it incredibly rewarding to support clients as they navigate their personal challenges and uncover their own strengths. I do this by creating a warm, non-judgmental space where they can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. Together, we work to gain meaningful insights, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies tailored to their goals for personal growth and well-being. Whether it’s working through anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, or embarking on a path of personal development, my approach is collaborative and compassionate. I am deeply committed to guiding clients toward healing, resilience, and positive change, empowering them to feel more confident and aligned in their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) with prior experience in both Inpatient and Outpatient Mental Health settings. With my variety of experience, I am passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients as they grow. I take both a collaborative and holistic approach, building a 'helping' relationship based on compassion, empathy, and trust; empowering those I work with to reignite the best version of themselves. I enjoy incorporating aspects of DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and art therapy, along with strategies that consist of a strengths-based and person-centered approach.
