Accepting clients Last Updated 1 days ago

Struggling with ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, or bipolar disorder can make everyday life feel harder than it needs to be. Whether you're having trouble focusing at work, feeling weighed down by sadness, or lying awake at night with racing thoughts, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. Together, we can explore what's holding you back and create a plan to help you feel more confident, balanced, and in control.

With over 18 years of nursing experience and specialized training as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide compassionate care through psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy. I believe that healing is about treating the whole person—your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. That's why I encourage small but meaningful changes, like improving sleep, staying active, and building a sustainable routine alongside medication or therapy.

If you're balancing a busy career, I understand how mental health issues can affect your performance and confidence. Many of my clients are working professionals who want to thrive, not just survive. I've seen firsthand how addressing mental health concerns can lead to personal growth, career advancement, and a deeper sense of satisfaction with life.

I also have experience working with older adults in long-term care, helping them feel more comfortable and supported as they navigate unique life transitions. No matter where you are in life, you deserve to feel heard and cared for.

My approach is patient-centered. Your voice matters, and your goals shape the path we take. Whether you're looking for guidance with managing anxiety or support as you adjust to life with a diagnosis, I'm here to help you become the best version of yourself—one step at a time.
