For older adults, I bring expertise in dementia‑related behavioral concerns, late‑life depression, sleep issues, and anxiety. In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming environment focused on understanding your story and clarifying your goals whether that’s symptom relief, diagnostic clarity, or simply feeling less overwhelmed.

I am a board‑certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, evidence‑based mental health care for individuals across the lifespan. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your treatment journey. I have experience working with a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma‑related disorders, and mood disorders.

I believe strongly in shared decision‑making and strive to ensure that every patient feels informed and involved in their treatment plan. Before becoming a PMHNP, I worked for several years as a registered nurse in behavioral health settings. Those experiences shaped my deep respect for the resilience of the individuals I serve and strengthened my commitment to providing high‑quality, compassionate care. I continue to stay current with emerging research and best practices so I can offer the most effective and up‑to‑date treatment options.
