I use a holistic treatment approach that may include medication management and psychotherapy, while incorporating evidence-based practices to provide quality care. I value helping each patient feel heard and understood, creating a supportive environment where open and honest communication can foster growth.

I begin by actively listening to understand your concerns and treatment goals, synthesizing the information shared during the initial session to develop an individualized plan. Through our therapeutic alliance, we establish mutually agreed-upon goals and use periodic check-ins to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose main passion is helping people living with mental health concerns regain the ability to function, thrive, and find greater fulfillment in life. I take a holistic approach that considers each person’s biological, psychological, and social needs, while recognizing that positive change is possible through a collaborative relationship.

I believe effective care begins with listening to your concerns, understanding your goals, and building a partnership based on trust and respect. I provide individualized treatment and psychoeducation about brain chemistry, thought processes, and how medication and therapy may support meaningful improvement. I may incorporate psychotropic medications or herbal remedies when appropriate to your needs and preferences.

I begin by learning about your symptoms, history, current needs, and goals, then work with you to develop a treatment plan that supports your quality of life. We will regularly assess your progress, discuss what is and is not working, and make adjustments together so that your care remains responsive to your needs and focused on helping you achieve lasting, meaningful change.

I view medication as a tool to support quality of life, not a complete solution.

I specialize in PTSD and C-PTSD and work with LGBTQIA+ concerns, polyamory/ENM, weight-loss psychiatry, and other areas that may not receive attention in traditional mental health settings.

Your first appointment begins with a conversation about what is troubling you, not simply assigning a diagnosis. I want to understand your symptoms, concerns, history, goals, and what you hope to get from treatment. We’ll discuss explanations and treatment options, including approaches with and without medication. You should expect compassion, careful questioning, and an honest conversation. We’ll work toward a plan that addresses your needs and clarifies next steps.

My approach follows a “no surprise” method of communication.

My goal is to work with you rather than tell you what to do. We’ll assess what is working, what isn’t, and adjust so your care aligns with your goals.

Above all, patients’ needs will guide the agenda.
