Areas of Interest

I am a compassionate, empathetic, and down-to-earth Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing diagnostic assessment, psychoeducation, and medication management for adolescents and adults seeking psychiatric care.  My clinical interests include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic mental illness, and holistic approaches to mental health.

My approach is centered on supporting clients through life’s transitions and helping them become their best selves.  My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and welcoming environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel heard, respected, and understood.  I work collaboratively with each client to develop personalized treatment plans that integrate symptom management, delf-care, and holistic strategies.  I also value coordinated care and partner with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive support.
