I’m passionate about helping adults find healing, balance, and a renewed sense of self through all of life’s changes. I care for individuals facing mental health challenges, and life transitions—with a special focus on supporting women throughout their lifespan. From adolescence to pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and beyond, I’m dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized mental health care that meets women where they are and helps them move toward wellness and wholeness.
How That Passion Developed
My passion for mental health care grew during my years working as both a nurse midwife and a NICU nurse. In those roles, I had the privilege of walking alongside women and families during some of their most joyful—and most challenging—moments. I saw how many women and parents struggled silently with anxiety, depression, or the emotional toll of birth and newborn care, and how limited mental health support was for those needs. That experience inspired me to pursue advanced training as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner so I could bridge that gap and care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—through every stage of life.
How I Live My Passion as a Nurse Practitioner
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach each client with empathy, openness, and respect. I believe the best care begins with listening and truly understanding your story. Together, we create a treatment plan that fits your goals and values—whether that includes therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication management. My goal is to help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered to live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling
How I Help Others
I work with adults of all ages who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, and life transitions. I have a particular passion for supporting women through the emotional and hormonal shifts that occur throughout their lifespan—from young adulthood and pregnancy to postpartum and menopause. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and rooted in compassion—helping clients find stability, strength, and self-compassion along the way.
About Me
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three small dogs—Portia, Yoshi, and CoCo—two of whom often join me at the office. I also love reading, movie popcorn, and traveling whenever I can. It’s a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and rediscover their inner resilience.
