My Approach to Therapy
My approach to care is grounded in active listening, empathy, and collaboration. I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. I work with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and many other mental health concerns.
My Practice & Services
I offer Virtual sessions to provide an added layer of privacy and comfort that allows for an intimate, safe space where you can explore your concerns freely. With years of experience as an RN and mental health nurse practitioner, I have the knowledge care for patients of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. I am deeply committed to helping individuals overcome their challenges.
How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
Having grown up in an economically disadvantaged community, I witnessed the toll that mental illness can take on individuals and their families; and having raised three children on my own, I know what it is to struggle. My experiences fueled my passion for mental health care, and I bring this empathy and understanding to every patient interaction. I am deeply committed to helping my patients overcome their challenges and treating each individual with the same care and attention I would give to my own loved ones.
