Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Supporting young adults navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Empowering you to find clarity, confidence, and balance in your daily life.
Adulting can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone. I work with young adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Whether you're navigating school, career decisions, or personal growth, I’m here to help you find clarity and confidence as you build a fulfilling life. As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I bring experience working with a diverse range of individuals, including veterans, gender-nonconforming individuals, seniors, and those navigating familial dysfunction or PTSD. My approach is collaborative and solution-focused, blending techniques like CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy with medication management when appropriate. In my own life, I prioritize self-care by spending time outdoors, listening to uplifting music, prioritizing devotional time, and nurturing connections with friends and family. I believe in small moments of joy to bring balance. I’m passionate about helping clients manage their mental health and achieve lasting growth. Together, we’ll work to build a supportive space for self-exploration and personal resilience—empowering you to move forward with confidence and clarity.
