Approach

Hello Everyone, I want to offer my services to you if I can assist in any way. I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC, FNP-C). I specialize in mental health care for adolescents, adults, and older individuals. My areas of expertise include ADHD/ADD, mood disorders (such as depression, bipolar disorder, and postpartum depression), anxiety, panic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress, and grief. Please feel free to reach out if you need support.

I use motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy to take a holistic, client-centered approach. I provide assessments, diagnoses, and personalized treatment plans, including medication management. In our first session, I will work with you to understand your experiences and goals and create a care plan tailored to your needs.

I am passionate about mental health and dedicated to helping individuals improve their quality of life. I am here to support you on your journey to better mental health. I offer high-quality psychotherapy and medication management through telepsychiatry, providing accessible and compassionate care.
