I believe in creating a powerfully positive environment for improving mental health. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner of ten years, I prioritize building a rapport above all else - you deserve to feel respected, heard and important at every step in your mental health journey. I strive to create an inclusive, safe space for everybody.

Listening and understanding my client's goals are my first priority. We can then both establish the best and most productive approach for managing mental health symptoms, whether that includes medication, therapy, or both.

Even as the importance of mental health is being brought to light in our society, I believe a person’s decision to make time for and seek help for their mental health takes fortitude and is never easy. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable to share their story and feel heard. I am honored to be selected to help my client’s on their journey to mental wellness.

I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. I think everyone deserves to feel heard in an authentic way. I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years in a variety of settings. I enjoy helping people recognize their potential and work towards their own growth and healing. I work with individuals ages 13 through adulthood, couples, and families. I look forward to meeting you!
