Licensed in: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner / Family Nurse Practitioner
Years of Experience: 8 years

My goal is to support clients in achieving mental wellness, resilience, and greater fulfillment. In my practice, I ensure clients receive comprehensive, evidence-based interventions tailored to their needs and offer medication management to optimize treatment outcomes.

My dedication to mental wellness is a personal mission that drives every decision I make and the dedication I bring to every session. I believe mental wellness is integral to overall health and happiness, encompassing resilience, self-awareness, and self-care. It’s a journey of growth and balance, deserving of universal support and resources.

I provide a nurturing and accepting environment where clients feel understood and supported. By offering compassionate care, thorough assessments, and collaborative education, I help clients reach their mental health goals and enhance their overall well-being.

As a practicing nurse for eight years, I’ve gained diverse experience in psychiatric emergency settings, maternity, and newborn care. Since 2020, I’ve worked as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and transitioned to a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in 2021. This shift allowed me to expand my scope of practice and focus on specialized mental health care.
