Whole-person wellness is something that’s near and dear to my heart. I truly believe that every person has value, dignity, and worth, and that mental wellness is a lifelong journey. We all experience difficult seasons, but sometimes those feelings of isolation or hopelessness can hold us back from doing the things we love. If you’re experiencing the life-limiting symptoms of a mood disorder, I want to come alongside you and help.

I am dually-certified as a family and psychiatric nurse practitioner, and have devoted the past 20 years to helping my patients journey toward continued mental health. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, which is world-renowned for advances in psychiatry, and have seen firsthand that the path to mental wellness is more than just prescribing medication.

Leading research shows us how important it is to manage mental wellness from a whole-person perspective. I want to spend time understanding your symptoms so that we can identify triggers, change thought processes, learn coping skills, and manage medication when it is needed.

I am devoted to walking with you as you become the happiest, healthiest person you can be.
