Lansing, MI Therapy, Psychiatry, and Counseling

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across the lifespan. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. I value individualized treatment and strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their healing journey.

I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Drexel University. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, and I collaborate closely with clients to develop thoughtful treatment plans that align with their goals and lived experiences.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or seeking support, recovery and wellness are possible. I am here to partner with you in building coping skills, improving symptom management, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I encourage you to schedule an appointment to explore your treatment options.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 20 years of experience in mental health. I provide evidence-based, individualized psychiatric care across the lifespan for individuals experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and life transitions. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood while working toward their mental health goals.

My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care with individualized treatment planning. I collaborate with clients to understand their unique needs, identify goals, and develop effective strategies for improving mental wellness. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and life transitions, while creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.

Taking the first step toward better mental health can feel challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you on your journey toward improved mental wellness and a more balanced life.

I am a Board-Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) from Saginaw Valley State University and a Primary Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (CPNP-PC) from the University of Michigan, with over 15 years of nursing experience in the Emergency Department and as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in an outpatient psychiatric clinic. I believe in individualized, person-centered, holistic care, and I specialize in diagnosing and treating people across the lifespan with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma, adjustment issues, and co-occurring disorders.

I begin by building a trusting relationship where clients feel comfortable. I help clients become active in their healing. I focus on educating clients about their condition and its impact on relationships and life. I educate clients about prescribed medications—how to take them and potential side effects—so adherence increases and progress isn't delayed.

I create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your needs. As someone whose parents were born and raised in a different country, I understand how culture can shape individual experiences and how much of an impact that can have on relationships. I take a holistic approach, treating the whole person and not just the symptoms.

I have a diverse background in mental health with experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and suicidal ideation. I've also supported individuals and couples dealing with marital issues, domestic violence, substance abuse, health challenges, and grief and loss. My approach is centered around building trust quickly, identifying core issues, and collaborating with clients to help them unlock their potential and work through life's challenges, rooted in empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, creating a safe space where you feel heard.

I listen without judgment and work collaboratively to identify core issues and develop actionable steps toward healing. With a genuine passion for helping others, I don't offer advice because I believe you are the CEO of your own life; I partner with you, empowering you to overcome your challenges and reach your fullest potential.

Whether you're struggling with mental health, relationship concerns, or navigating difficult moments, I'm here to walk alongside you. I believe that with the right support, everyone has the potential to grow, heal, and thrive. Take the next step toward healing by connecting with me today.
