About
As a mental health nurse practitioner I understand that every person is unique in their own way. I strive to combine advanced clinical expertise with deep compassion for individuals navigating the challenges of mental health.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of experience. My background blends nursing and mental health care, giving me a strong foundation to support individuals facing diverse challenges. Over the course of my career, I have worked in outpatient and community settings, helping clients navigate conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I bring compassion, expertise, and a client-centered focus to every session, ensuring care is tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I received specialized training in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. I integrate medication management with supportive therapy, drawing on evidence-based approaches to create treatment plans that address both immediate concerns and long-term wellness goals.
I believe every person deserves individualized care. I take time to understand my clients’ stories, strengths, and goals so their treatment feels personal and effective. My mission is to empower individuals to move forward with hope and confidence, knowing they are supported every step of the way.

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is bringing awareness that trauma is on a spectrum and is individualized to a person's perspective. I use psychodynamic and attachment theory-based modalities to explore how past trauma influences current behaviors and beliefs. I prefer to explore causes for feeling unsafe because, as adults, we can create our own sense of safety.
I believe the following tools are helpful when experiencing PTSD/trauma symptoms:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they have a greater sense of calm and well-being.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by practicing mindfulness, using deep breathing, noticing when surroundings are safe, and connecting trauma reactions in the present to the traumatic event.
To prepare for your first PTSD/trauma therapy session, just show up for sessions!
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
