I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and pursuing this career has been a personal dream come true. Before transitioning into psychiatry in 2025, I spent 10 years as a labor and delivery nurse, developing a deep appreciation for emotional well-being and life’s significant transitions. My experience led me to pursue a certification in perinatal mental health, and I lead a weekly group for new moms struggling with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I also work with adults in an intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization program, supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, and more.
My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and centered on you as the whole person. I prioritize listening to your concerns and offering treatment options aligned with your goals. With a special interest in perinatal mental health, I create a safe, judgment-free space. Together, we explore your strengths and create a plan for growth and healing.
Taking the first step toward better mental health can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment. I would be honored to walk alongside you as we work together toward healing and growth. When you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and prioritize yourself.
"With my personal and professional experiences, I am no stranger to the challenges of mental health. I believe healing begins with empathy and compassion and the feeling of being truly heard and understood."
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
Being a psychiatric provider has been my dream since I was a young child. It was the driving force behind my decision to pursue nursing. Throughout my personal and professional experiences, I have witnessed the profound impact mental health challenges cam have on individuals and families. These experiences have strengthened my belief that everyone deserves the opportunity for excellent mental health care. Being able to turn a childhood dream into a career that allows me to support others is truly a privilege.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish every client knew that there is no shame in struggling with your mental health and no need to fear judgment when seeking help. Mental health challenges do not define who you are, and asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. My hope is to break the stigma surrounding mental health by creating a space where you can show up as your authentic self and know you are never defined by your hardest moments.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgmentfree space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your story at your own pace. We will take time to get to know each other. We will discuss your concerns, explore your mental health history, medication history and identify what you hope to achieve through treatment.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I take an individualized, person-centered approach to care. I take time to learn what matters most to each client. I involve my clients in every decision regarding their care and treatment, offering options and collaborating on a plan that aligns with their value, preferences and goals.
