Care that sees all of you

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself lately? Maybe your child is anxious and you're not sure how to help, or your teenager is struggling with mood, identity, school, or friendships. Maybe you're an adult who has been pushing through for years while carrying anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or the deep impact of trauma. You deserve more than quick fixes and rushed appointments.

I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with more than 20 years of nursing experience, providing psychiatric care across the lifespan, from children as young as 6 through older adults. Instead of just managing symptoms, I focus on understanding what's really driving your struggles so we can build a path toward genuine healing and long-term change.

If you're interested in holistic options, I can bring mindfulness, behavioral strategies, lifestyle and nutritional support, and movement-based tools into your treatment. And if medication isn't the right fit, we can explore integrative approaches together. Mental health care is never one-size-fits-all, especially for people who have experienced marginalization, discrimination, or generational trauma.

Specialties

Medication management • Anxiety • Depression • Bipolar disorder • ADHD • Trauma • Children and teens • Integrative and holistic care

I see children as young as 6, teens, and adults.

Adversity doesn't break us, it reveals us. Those who endure life's deepest trials often emerge from the storm with the most compassionate hearts and the most beautiful souls.
