Accepting clients Last Updated 1 days ago

I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with expertise in assessing and treating a broad spectrum of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and alcohol use disorders.
I take a holistic, patient-centered approach to care, focusing on all aspects of your well-being. Through collaborative decision-making, we work together to understand your needs, explore treatment options, and develop a plan that aligns with your goals. My priority is to offer compassionate, evidence-based care that promotes long-term recovery, emphasizing balanced, lasting solutions rather than short-term interventions.
Individualized, holistic care, combining therapy, lifestyle, and medications when necessary. My focus is on creating sustainable treatment plans that support long-term well-being, rather than relying on short-term fixes. I prioritize compassionate, evidence-based practices and empower patients with education, shared decision making and a deeper understanding of mental health to promote lasting recovery.
