The choice to seek mental health services can be challenging. I recognize that everyone may experience normal and unexpected highs and lows of life. No matter what stage you are at, I am committed to meeting you on the pathway to wellness. Listening to understand is a primary principle that I follow to give you the most individualized and collaborative experience. Additional time is given to ensure your needs and goals are thoroughly communicated before making clinically appropriate treatment recommendations. I specialize in taking a holistic approach with medication management.
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and I graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I have over 10 years of professional nursing experience. I provide treatment for a variety of mental health concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar and more for children, adolescents, and adults.
Feel free to share your story with me so we can see whether I can be of service to you or if there is a way I can help you along on your own journey.
