I was a Social Worker for 18 years prior to becoming a Nurse, and then advanced my nursing career. Becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has given me the best of both worlds. It is the perfect combination of the two careers that I have grown to love.

I work best with clients who are ready to improve their mental health and overall wellbeing and willing to take the next steps needed to achieve lasting recovery and well-being.

I wish all clients knew that mental health is just as important as physical health. Your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences all matter. Healing is a journey, and with the right support, meaningful change is possible.

In our first session, you can expect a safe, welcoming, and judgement-free space where we begin to understand your story, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve through this treatment. We will discuss your mental health history, current challenges, strengths, and goals while beginning to develop a personalized plan for you care. The early stages of treatment are about building trust, gaining insight, and learning practical tools to support healing and positive change at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

My practice is guided by the values of compassion, respect, authenticity , and the belief that every person deserves to be heard and understood. My experiences as a social worker, nurse, and healthcare provider have shown me the importance of caring for the whole person; not just treating symptoms, but understanding each individual's story, strengths, challenges, and goals.

I tailor therapy/ treatment to meet each client's unique needs by understanding their story, strengths, challenges, and goals. I believe that healing happens through connection, trust, and a collaborative approach where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their mental health journey.
