I decided to become psychiatric provider because I have always felt a deep commitment to helping people during some of the most challenging times in their lives. Early in my nursing career, I saw how profoundly mental health struggles affect not just the individual, but also their families and communities. I also noticed how often mental health needs were overlooked or stigmatized, even though they are just as important as physical health.

I work best with clients who are ready to take an active role in their mental health journey, even if they may feel uncertain, overwhelmed or discouraged at first. I often work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, ADD, and other mood disorders.

I am most excited to work with clients who are motivated to explore their mental health and open to collaboration in their care, I specially enjoy working with individuals who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or mood disorders, and those who are impacted from past trauma.

One thing I wish all clients knew is that seeking help for your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many people feel shame, for, or self-doubt when they reach out for support, but the truth is that asking of help takes courage. Mental health struggles do not define who you are.

I chose to practice at Thriveworks because their mission aligns with my own values as a Psychiatric provider. Thriveworks emphasizes accessible, compassionate, and client-centered care, which is exactly how I approach my practice.

What inspires me most is the strength and resilience I see in my clients, even in the face of overwhelming challenges, people have an incredible ability to heal, adapt, and grow when given the right support

In a client's first session with me, they can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment. My priority is to create a safe space where they feel comfortable sharing their story at their own pace.

In a first session, my main goal is to build a foundation of trust and safety. I want each client to feel heard, respected, and understood from the very beginning.

Before scheduling a first session with me, I want clients to know that my approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe in trading the whole person, not just the symptoms, and I will always take the time to listen and understand each client's unique story. As a Psychiatric nurse practitioner, I specialize in Medication management and supportive care.

On mu time off, I enjoy recharging by spending time outdoors, whether that means hiking local trails, taking long walks, or just soaking up the sunshine with a good book.

It is my genuine compassion for others, Whether in my personal life or my professional role as a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

Yes - when clinically appropriate, CLINICIAN may prescribe both non-stimulant (all ages) and stimulant (adults only) medication for the treatment of ADHD.
