I’m dedicated to helping individuals heal and strengthen their mental well-being through compassionate, personalized care that honors their unique goals and values.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with three years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions. My work is grounded in empathy and clinical expertise, helping clients navigate emotional and behavioral challenges with confidence. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals feel supported in achieving balance, understanding, and empowerment throughout their mental health journey.
I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, where I focused on psychiatric mental health care. My approach blends holistic and person-centered methods that encourage clients to explore their inner strengths while building the tools needed for emotional regulation, clarity, and well-being.
My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based support that fosters healing and personal growth. Together, we’ll create a collaborative plan that aligns with your unique goals and helps you move toward lasting emotional wellness.

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Fort Wayne, IN specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy.

Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
