Meet Your Provider

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with a clinical background that spans psychiatry, addiction medicine, family medicine, detoxification and recovery services, chronic pain management, and complex medical care. That range of experience has shaped the way I practice today: mental health concerns are rarely viewed in isolation, because emotional well-being, physical health, sleep, stress, relationships, medications, past experiences, and everyday life often influence one another.

I provide individualized psychiatric care for clients experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, trauma-related concerns, substance use disorders, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and other behavioral health concerns. Care may include comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of approaches based on your symptoms, history, preferences, and treatment goals.

My background includes more than nine years of caring for patients with overlapping psychiatric, medical, and substance-related conditions in outpatient, telehealth, detoxification, and residential treatment settings. I have experience managing psychotropic medications, providing medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, evaluating psychiatric risk, supporting patients through withdrawal and recovery, and collaborating with therapists, physicians, case managers, and other members of the treatment team when coordinated care is needed.

Before focusing more extensively on behavioral health, I spent years in family medicine and chronic pain care, where I evaluated complex medical histories, reviewed diagnostic testing, managed chronic conditions, and worked closely with specialists and primary care teams. That experience continues to inform my psychiatric practice. When symptoms such as poor concentration, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, or changes in mood are present, I believe it is important to consider what else may be contributing rather than viewing every concern through a single lens.

You do not need to arrive with the right words.

We can begin with what has been happening and make sense of the larger picture together. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in clear communication. I want you to understand what is being recommended, why it may help, and what feels realistic for your life. You will have room to speak honestly about what has helped, what has not, and what you hope will feel different with treatment.

I completed my Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner education at the University of Miami and am board certified as both a PMHNP-C and FNP-C.
