I’m dedicated to helping individuals overcome mental health challenges and reach their fullest potential. With 17 years of experience as a nurse and nearly two decades in healthcare, I’ve had the opportunity to work across various settings, including rehabilitation, med-surg, cardiac, orthopedic, and psychiatric nursing. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Galen College of Nursing, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Appalachian State University, and my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a specialization as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Herzing University.

I believe that mental health is closely linked to overall wellness, which is why I take a holistic approach to treatment. I focus not only on mental health but also on the physical and emotional aspects of well-being. I value getting to know my clients and listening to their unique stories, which helps me provide care that is tailored to their specific needs.

I work with individuals of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults, and I am committed to providing care for people of all ethnicities, sexual orientations and gender identities, including the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, mood or thought disorders, or other mental health challenges, I am here to help.

I offer a variety of therapeutic interventions and may incorporate medication management into your treatment plan, depending on your needs. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and equipped to work toward managing symptoms and improving your quality of life. Healing is a process, and I understand that it can take time. I am here to walk with you every step of the way, adjusting care as necessary to ensure that it remains aligned with your goals.

In my personal life, I enjoy traveling, hiking, skiing, and exploring national parks—activities that help me stay grounded and connected with nature. I believe these experiences also enrich my ability to connect with clients and understand the importance of balance and self-care.

I offer telehealth appointments, providing flexibility to meet your needs. I’m here to support you in whatever way works best for you. I look forward to partnering with you to help you achieve your mental health goals and live a fulfilling life.
