Stabilizing bipolar disorder requires a highly nuanced, precise approach to medication management. With over 20 years of advanced clinical experience, I specialize in carefully balancing mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics to manage both manic and depressive phases. I look closely at how your physical health and lifestyle intersect with your symptoms to minimize side effects, reduce the frequency of mood shifts, and help you regain a reliable, predictable sense of daily control.

Anxiety can feel completely paralyzing, often presenting with physical symptoms like racing heart, insomnia, and fatigue. My dual certification as both a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner allows me to differentiate between purely psychological anxiety and physical triggers like thyroid issues or medical stress. I provide evidence-based medication management alongside lifestyle strategies to calm your nervous system, quiet panic, and help you move through the world with confidence.

Depression is more than just sadness—it impacts your physical energy, cognitive focus, and overall vitality. I provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations to understand the biological and situational roots of your depression. Drawing on my extensive medical and oncology background, I am uniquely equipped to treat depression linked to chronic illness, grief, or major life changes. Together, we will find the right pharmacological support to restore your energy and hope.

My expertise in CBT allows me to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and trauma. Given my 20+ years in medical and psychiatric care, I uniquely adapt CBT to help you reframe the cognitive distortions and overwhelming fears that often accompany daily stress or a major health crisis. Together, we will develop practical, actionable coping strategies that shift your mindset and physically calm your nervous system.

I utilize Motivational Interviewing to help you uncover your intrinsic motivation for change, especially when feeling stuck or overwhelmed by lifestyle transitions. Whether you are navigating a new psychiatric plan, balancing a physical diagnosis, or trying to break unhealthy habits, my approach is entirely collaborative and non-judgmental. I walk alongside you to resolve ambivalence, build on your existing strengths, and empower you to confidently take charge of your wellness.

Solution-Focused Therapy allows us to focus on your strengths and future possibilities rather than becoming consumed by past problems. My clinical background makes me highly efficient at helping you pinpoint what is already working in your life, setting clear, manageable goals for symptom relief. This approach is highly effective for individuals, busy families, and seniors who want immediate, realistic tools to foster resilience and achieve measurable mental wellness.
