Hello

My journey to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is deeply rooted in my personal experiences. I’ve struggled with anxiety from a young age, and while I developed tools to manage it over the years, it reached its peak after I became a mother. The overwhelming demands of balancing motherhood, my career, and being a supportive partner led to postpartum anxiety and panic attacks. I often felt lost as I tried to juggle activities that I enjoyed with the responsibilities of raising a family and building a career.

​

These experiences were some of the most challenging of my life, but they gave me a profound understanding of the struggles many face and ignited my passion for mental health care. They also showed me the power of self-compassion, community, and professional support in overcoming life’s hurdles.

​

Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked as a nurse on a cardiac unit, where I saw firsthand the connection between mental and physical health. Witnessing how stress, anxiety, and depression could impact overall well-being inspired me to shift my focus to helping others address mental health challenges at their root.

​

Today, I offer a compassionate, integrative, and empowering approach to care. My practice combines evidence-based medication management, brief therapy, and lifestyle interventions such as diet, exercise, and stress management. I work collaboratively with my clients to create personalized plans that help them rediscover balance, find their inner strength, and achieve the life they envision.

​

As someone who has walked this path, I understand the ups and downs of navigating mental health challenges, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to help you feel your best—inside and out.
