My Background and Approach
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions across the lifespan. My training includes advanced therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing, allowing me to tailor treatment plans that best fit each client’s unique needs. I also have expertise in medication management, ensuring the safe and effective use of psychotropic medications to complement therapy. My holistic approach integrates mental and physical health, helping clients achieve balanced, sustainable well-being. By combining clinical knowledge with compassionate care, I empower clients to overcome challenges, build resilience, and make meaningful progress toward their personal goals. This comprehensive experience ensures you receive personalized, evidence-based treatment designed to improve your quality of life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am deeply committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all clients, regardless of their background, identity, or life experience. I strongly believe in mental health equity and work to address disparities in care. As an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, I provide culturally sensitive, nonjudgmental support that honors each person’s unique journey. Outside of clinical work, I volunteer with suicide prevention programs and support veterans organizations, embracing compassion and kindness as core values. My goal is to empower every client to find their voice, build resilience, and thrive in a supportive, understanding environment.
