I continue to become inspired by witnessing the amazing strength that each person holds in bettering their lives. I take pride in supporting clients in their journey to wellness and improved mental health. I firmly believe in learning about each individual and what kind of treatment aligns with them. Through thoughtful use of medication, newer emerging treatments such as Spravato, and brief psychotherapy, I aspire to design a treatment plan that fits each person's lifestyle and personal beliefs.

Returning to civilian life after service can bring with it echoes of intense and challenging experiences. You may find yourself facing vivid flashbacks, heightened alertness, or a sense of detachment from those around you. These feelings are not just symptoms; they're reflections of a profound journey

Do you find yourself feeling on edge with anxiety, stress, and worried sick no matter what you do? Anxiety leaves us feeling panicked, exhausted and disconnected. You’re someone who deeply wants to feel peace, relaxed, and safe but still find yourself feeling out of control and heart racing. You want to feel calm and have no idea how to get there. You are ready to feel like yourself again, grounded with no fear or panic. You are ready to feel at ease in public and embrace connection at work and in your relationships. Most of all, you are ready to be free from the burden of anxiety, causing depression- I want to help you get there.

Hi! I've been a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner for over 17 years and I love working with children, teens and adults to help them achieve and maintain excellent mental health and wellness. I specialize in tele-health services and, while I diagnose and treat most psychiatric conditions, I especially enjoy working with people with learning differences, ADHD, mood disorders, children with adjustment issues, and women who are experiencing fertility, pregnancy and postpartum related issues. I am a life long learner and educator and believe in a collaborative approach with each individual I work with.

One size does NOT fit all! I believe that an individualized and holistic approach to your mental wellness yields true solutions. I have over 10 years of well rounded experience in the field and I am passionate about integrating evidence-informed conventional and complementary therapies in treating psychiatric disorders. I have learned that every person requires a unique approach. You and I may need to rework medications, while others would benefit from talking through possibilities or processing painful memories, and still others need my help refining their nutrition or developing consistent exercise habits.
