About
I bring the knowledge from my own encounters with trauma and loss, along with years of professional experience, to ensure that I provide an individualized, personal, and real perspective to my clients and their needs.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 1 year of experience and over 20 years in health care. I specialize in providing compassionate, individualized psychiatric care to clients across the lifespan. As a dual-certified nurse practitioner in family and psychiatric care, I am dedicated to advocating for my clients and supporting diverse backgrounds with thoughtful, patient-centered treatment.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University. My background includes advanced practice experience and a strong foundation in holistic care. I meet clients where they are, using evidence-based approaches to guide treatment and promote improved mental health outcomes.
I understand that asking for help is not always easy. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and practical strategies as you move toward brighter days. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take that first step toward feeling better.

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in healthcare. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families as they navigate mental health challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I work with adults balancing family and work demands while managing anxiety, depression, or past experiences. My goal is to help each person strengthen their sense of connection, well-being, and self-awareness through compassionate, personalized care.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Maryville University. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a trauma-informed perspective. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and holistic techniques to meet the unique needs of each client and foster a safe space for growth and healing.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but it’s also an empowering act of courage and self-care. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone, and together we can work toward balance, healing, and renewed hope. I invite you to take the next step toward the care and connection you deserve.
