As a dedicated PMHNP, I am passionate about empowering individuals to reclaim their mental well-being and live a life that truly reflects their values and aspirations. My ideal client is someone who is courageously seeking help to overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, psychotic disorders, or other mental health concerns that have been impacting daily life. They may be struggling to cope with stress, navigate relationships, or find purpose and meaning. I work with these individuals in a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere as they pursue their unique goals for mental well-being. I specialize in diagnosing and managing various mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and psychotic disorders through both pharmacotherapy (medication treatment) and psychotherapy. If you're seeking a mental health provider who is dedicated, compassionate, attentive, and committed to delivering personalized care, I invite you to explore the possibility of working together. You will not only be heard, but you will leave the visit feeling empowered to face life without fear.

As a proud native of Virginia, I have cultivated a deep commitment to healthcare and community service throughout my career. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Chamberlain University, where I developed a strong foundation in nursing principles and patient care practices. Currently, I am advancing my expertise by pursuing a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a focus on the Family Nurse Practitioner track, which I believe will empower me to provide comprehensive care across the lifespan. Since becoming a registered nurse in 2014, I have garnered a wealth of experience across diverse clinical settings. My background includes emergency medicine, where I thrive under pressure; cardiac surgical intensive care, where critical thinking and rapid decision-making are essential; medical-surgical units, where I honed my skills in patient assessments and interventions; and behavioral medicine and substance use, where I developed a compassionate approach to mental health care. In addition to my clinical roles, I possess over seven years of leadership experience and currently serve as a Registered Nurse Administrator. In this capacity, I oversee nursing operations, ensuring high standards of patient care and operational efficiency while mentoring and supporting fellow nurses in their professional development. My multifaceted experience in nursing, combined with my leadership roles, has equipped me with a unique perspective on the healthcare landscape, driving my passion for improving patient outcomes and advocating for quality care in our communities.
