As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I know that facing life’s challenges—whether in relationships, work, or personal struggles—can feel daunting and often isolating.

I’m committed to providing a space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I believe in building a trusting, supportive relationship where we can explore the challenges you’re facing together. Whether you’re dealing with stress, navigating a life transition, or just looking to better understand yourself, I’m here to guide you. I use evidence-based practices while tailoring our approach to your unique needs.

Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler, a big animal lover, and a foodie always seeking new culinary adventures. When I’m not exploring the world or painting, you can find me unwinding with a good true crime podcast or a book.

My goal is to empower you to discover your inner strength and create meaningful change. Together, we can work towards a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and true to who you are.
