“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but you are not the rain.” — Matt Haig

My philosophy is that mental health should not be a luxury, but rather an integral part of our lives in order to help us live to the best of our abilities. No two people have the same story or the same goals. I wholeheartedly believe in meeting people where they are in life and in their mental health journeys.

I am a doctorally prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of experience in behavioral health and substance abuse. I pride myself on breaking down barriers around what mental health looks like and strive to help those I serve find a sense of peace in their lives. There is no judgment in my office, and I will always be rooting for you from the sidelines.

I specialize in working with adults and young adults in medication management and brief psychotherapy. My areas of interest in psychiatry include substance use disorders, mood disorders (such as bipolar disorder and depression), and thought disorders (including schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder). I also see patients for conditions such as ADHD, adjustment difficulties, and PTSD.
