I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 12 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in diagnosing and treating mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment that promotes healing, emotional growth, and overall well-being for each client I serve.

I earned my Master’s in Nursing, Leadership, and Management from Walden University. My clinical approach combines medication management, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients build resilience and restore balance in their daily lives. I strive to empower each person through education and collaboration.

I welcome individuals ready to take the next step toward improved mental health. Whether you’re seeking clarity, stability, or emotional peace, I’m here to listen and guide you through the process. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change and create a plan that supports long-term wellness and self-confidence.

I specialize in working with people with ADHD and autism, as well as anyone looking for a space where they can feel genuinely heard. As your therapist, I will not be another voice telling you to push through and make things work when they just won't. I will show up as a kind, calm person who's ready to meet you where you are without judgement. I’ll take the time to get to know you, learn what matters to you, and work with you to create the change you're looking for. If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure about where to even begin, that's okay. We can figure it out together!

In our sessions, you’ll have space to talk openly about whatever is on your mind. I can offer structure, feedback, and practical guidance when that’s helpful, while also giving you room to slow down, sort through your thoughts and emotions, and make sense of what you’re experiencing.

You deserve a life that is authentic and feels like your own. We can talk, get to know each other a little, and see if working together feels like a good fit. I'm available to work virtually with anyone in VA.

I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Walden University. I provide thoughtful medication management paired with supportive, solution-focused care. My approach emphasizes education, shared decision-making, and realistic goal setting, grounded in evidence-based practice tailored to each person’s needs.

Seeking help takes courage, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we work collaboratively to improve symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and build lasting emotional wellness. When you’re ready, I’m here to support your next steps forward.
