About
I strive to create a warm, collaborative space to explore your challenges together, blending medical expertise with genuine empathy to support your healing and growth.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 11 years of experience. I specialize in supporting adults coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is collaborative and personalized. I meet clients where they are, integrating evidence-based treatment with empathy, curiosity, and respect to help them build resilience, improve balance, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University. I blend psychodynamic insight with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help clients understand themselves and develop effective tools for growth. My practice centers on compassion, tailoring care to each person’s needs and goals.
I understand that reaching out for help takes courage, and I want you to know you’re not alone. Healing and growth are possible, and together we can take meaningful steps toward the life you want to create. If you feel ready to begin your journey, I invite you to schedule an appointment and start caring for yourself more deeply.

My main approach to working with depression is a combination of inner regulation work, trauma work, and self-care/gratitude work. I find this is the best way to work with depression, as it deals with many of the common causes of depression and allows clients to fully build tools, skills, and understanding of their depression, all while getting support and building a sustainable change in their life that allows them to manage their depression and eventually minimize or eliminate it.
In counseling for depression, I help clients build affirmations skills, positive neuron formation, self-care skills, emotional understanding, emotional resilience skills, meditation/mindfulness, additional coping skills, and breathing skills.
I know a client is making progress with depression when symptoms start to lessen and the clients begin to express more hope and confidence in their ability to move forward, as well as when I see an increase in energy and activity.
Outside of therapy, clients should focus on their current homework and large amounts of self-care in order to maintain the emotional energy needed to work through depression.
To prepare for a first session, open yourself up to the idea that things may be uncomfortable but also work to know that you are here to get support and it is nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of. Many people struggle with this and its ok to need help!
