Growing up on Maui, Hawaii, I embrace the “Aloha Spirit” through a calm, genuine, and compassionate approach. I truly care about my patients and strive to help each person achieve a better quality of life.

I want you to feel safe, accepted, and comfortable as you begin your therapeutic journey. I provide a serene and welcoming environment where I communicate openly and transparently. I offer expert guidance in psychiatric medicine while recognizing that every patient’s needs, experiences, and goals are unique.

I begin by listening carefully and developing an understanding of your concerns, goals, and overall well-being. Together, we create a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan that may incorporate medication management, psychotherapy, or both. My goal is to provide thoughtful, collaborative care that supports your mental health and long-term wellness.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience providing psychiatric care to adults in inpatient and outpatient settings, where I have supported individuals with a wide range of mental health concerns. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, and my Master of Science in Nursing from Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri.

I value each person’s experiences, preferences, and goals and strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where open communication can flourish. My goal is for every patient to feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I begin by getting to know each patient’s history, current concerns, symptoms, and personal goals, while exploring how symptoms affect different areas of life. Together, we discuss treatment options, including potential benefits, risks, and alternatives, so patients can make informed decisions. I then develop an individualized plan and regularly reassess progress, adjusting care collaboratively when needed.

I am a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing holistic, whole-person care for adolescents and adults. I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, and I value a therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust, respect, unconditional positive regard, and cultural humility.

I see our work as an egalitarian partnership. I will not simply hand you a prescription, nor leave you in an unstructured conversation. I combine clinical precision in medication management with a warm, reflective space for healing. I am direct and transparent, while empowering you to make informed, shared decisions about your care.

We begin with a warm, grounding welcome and first look at how you are doing overall. Then we use a collaborative, structured approach to track progress, reviewing medications and coping strategies along with sleep, energy, and mood. Depending on your needs, treatment may integrate psychopharmacology, CBT, supportive psychotherapy, and lifestyle and integrative medicine, including nutrition, sleep, stress management, and mindfulness.

I have experience practicing in outpatient clinics, including virtual settings. I earned my medical degree from Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at HCA Florida JFK North Hospital. I am board certified in Psychiatry.

I believe every patient has an individual story and background that deserves to be understood. I prioritize listening to your concerns and fostering a safe, comfortable space where you can feel heard and open about what you are experiencing.

I begin by thoroughly reviewing your history, symptoms, concerns, and goals during our initial session. From there, I collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan focused on your mental health needs and goals. Because everyone's needs can change, treatment plans remain dynamic, and I can adjust our approach based on your response and progress.

With a substantial background in psychotherapeutic training, I work to minimize and justify the role of psychotropic medication in my patients’ lives, regularly reviewing propriety and necessity. Front and center is always quality of life, not impersonal diagnostic categories. I strive to help my patients “meet themselves where they are” as individuals, with an emphasis on resilience.

I offer supportive therapy, CBT-style approaches, and interpersonal communication skills development based on patient needs. I want patients to feel comfortable, safe, and able to speak freely.

I start with a self-introduction and spend a few minutes listening before discussing the chief complaint. I use open-ended questions to understand family, medical, social, and psychiatric history.

I am a double board-certified adult and child/adolescent psychiatrist who believes the person sitting in front of me is more than a diagnosis. I believe in individualized, patient-centered care and in meeting people where they are. My approach is collaborative, with trust, transparency, and truly getting to know each person at the center.

I believe patients should have autonomy in decisions about their health. My role is to listen, educate, provide support, and help patients make informed decisions consistent with their goals and values. I do not simply tell someone what medication to take; we develop the treatment plan together.

My first appointment is often less about checking boxes and more about, “Let me get to know you.” I listen to the patient’s story and strive to understand the whole person. My practice combines evidence-based medication management with supportive psychotherapy and, when appropriate, CBT, mindfulness, emotional regulation, behavioral activation, and other therapeutic tools.
