Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

I believe that effective mental health treatment begins with genuine connection, compassion, and understanding. My approach is centered on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where patients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and working toward meaningful change. I strive to meet each individual where they are, recognizing that every person’s journey is unique.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 23 years of healthcare experience. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from South University and my Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University in 2020. Since becoming certified as a PMHNP in 2023, I have been dedicated to providing evidence-based psychiatric care with a strong focus on compassion, collaboration, and patient empowerment.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, addiction, and substance use disorders. I also provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ketamine-assisted treatment when appropriate. My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but also to support long-term healing, resilience, and overall wellness.

I understand that seeking help can be one of the most difficult steps a person takes. Whether you are struggling with mental health challenges, life transitions, or recovery from substance use, I am committed to partnering with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values. Together, we can work toward creating a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.
