I decided to become a psychiatric provider during my very first nursing school rotation at an inpatient facility, where I discovered how incredibly fulfilling it is to connect with patients at their most vulnerable, learn their unique stories, and support them on their journey to healing.

I work best with motivated individuals who are actively seeking support and are ready to invest the time and effort necessary to create lasting, meaningful change in their lives.

If there is one thing I wish all clients knew about the healing process, it's that discovering your unique pathway to lasting, meaningful change takes time, but if you are willing to invest that time and put in your best effort, becoming the best version of yourself is absolutely possible.

In your first session, you can expect a comprehensive and thorough assessment where we will explore your psychiatric history, physical health, medication background, and day-to-day life experience and environment to build a complete picture of your needs.

My practice is deeply informed by my dual perspective as both a clinician and a parent of children with ADHD and anxiety. Having navigated these challenges personally and professionally. I move beyond traditional diagnostics to offer 'navigational empathy'- supporting you with the practical, real-world tools I know actually work. I am a fierce advocate for individualized care that prioritizes your autonomy, rejects shame-based labels, and utilizes a conservative, holistic approach to medication that respects the complexity of the whole person.

I view therapy and medication management as a collaborative partnership, not a one-size-fitsall approach. I tailor our work by integrating your personal goals and values with evidence-based practices, regularly checking in to ensure our strategy remains flexible and responsive to your unique life experiences, environmental needs, and evolving progress.
