I am a dual board-certified, doctorate-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, as well as a Certified Psychedelic Provider. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults (ages 9–65+) navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and complex mood concerns.

My approach is collaborative and holistic. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of your life - including stressors, relationships, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, diagnostic clarity, or a more integrative approach to healing, we will create a plan tailored specifically to you.

Clients often describe my style as compassionate, thorough, and grounded. I believe in clear communication, shared decision-making, and ensuring you feel informed and empowered about your treatment options. My goal is not simply symptom reduction - it is helping you restore balance, confidence, and a meaningful quality of life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we will build a path toward emotional stability, mental clarity, and overall wellness.
