In my psychiatric nursing practice, I specialize in addressing the unique needs of individuals grappling with moderate to severe anxiety and depression. I understand that these challenges often stem from diverse sources such as life transitions or traumatic experiences. My approach is comprehensive, blending psychoeducation, therapeutic interventions, and, when appropriate, medication management. I am committed to fostering a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, providing a safe space for clients to explore their concerns and work towards positive change.

I try to help each person I work with feel understood and appreciated as a whole human being with strengths that can be mobilized, as well as with their own emotional suffering. This enforms me how how I relate to you, your child, teen, or family. Medications are used if necessary, and if progress is made and they are no longer needed, are lowered and possibly stopped. If they don't help I make every effort to adjust, change, or combine to get the desired result.

I am a psychiatrist (medical doctor/physician) skilled in psychotherapy (talk therapy, counseling, executive coaching, and psychoanalysis). I specialize in helping people reach their full potential by answering difficult life questions such as, "What's happening," "What does this mean," and perhaps most importantly, "What should I do?" With years of clinical experience treating patients of all ages, from children to adults, I meet my patients where they are. I collaborate with each patient to find what they need, whether that be short or long-term psychotherapy, medication, or a combination that fits the person.

As a person, I am always available to listen to my surrounding concerns and struggles; moreover, I go above and beyond to help find a solution to their concerns. As a Psychiatry Mental Health Nurse Practioner, I listen to my patients; in creating a therapeutic rapport, I ask about their short-term and long-term goals and what they expect to achieve when they come to my search. Furthermore, I always use a holistic approach that includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches.

Are you a woman that typically has it all together, but recently you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. The joys of life have been wiped out by anxiety and depression. Maybe you are a mother who is struggling to manage your new normal and you feel disconnected from your baby and family? Possibly you have trauma surrounding your birth experience. Perhaps you’re a father who can’t seem to control your mood swings, and you’ve found yourself constantly on “edge”. Maybe a parent struggling and seeking help for a child that has ADHD and behavioral issues.
