I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience working in mental health, with a primary focus on women’s mental health. I support women navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, especially those who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted internally.

I believe deeply in the power of words and how they shape our mental and emotional well-being. My work is rooted in speaking life, clarity, and hope into spaces where patients may feel discouraged or stuck. I work with all adults who are seeking thoughtful, intentional, holistic care.

It's believed that more than 30-50 percent of individuals with mental health issues do not seek treatment or help. Congratulations, you have already taken a step in the right direction. Just like how a fractured bone causes discomfort and pain, poor mental health also causes day to day discomfort and malfunction. Continuing my analogy, one would expect to take medicine and use a cast to recover from such an injury. I will work with you to understand the situation that you are in and together we will come up with a safe and effective plan. My goal is to get you back up on your feet again without having to feel burdened by your mental health.

Whether I’m diagnosing, prescribing, or simply listening, my mission is to make every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. I strive to turn sessions into moments of trust, learning, and hope."

I am board certified in Family Practice as well as Psychiatry and have been in practice for 25 year. I work with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, bipolar disorder, as well as address physical symptoms or issues that may affect mental health. I hold a Doctorate degree in education and Master Degrees in Advance Practice Nursing and education.
