MBA, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, Advanced Certified Autism Specialist

As a Double Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Certified Autism Specialist, I bring both expertise and empathy to mental healthcare. My focus is on precision and clarity — thoroughly evaluating each individual's unique needs. I believe in working closely with patients and taking the time to truly understand your unique story, strengths, and challenges.

My approach is highly personalized, collaborative, and holistic, providing a supportive space to be heard. I oppose the "assembly line" approach to medicine. My practice is a private environment where you are respected, valued, and empowered. I see your humanity, not just a diagnosis, and I am here to serve as your dedicated advocate and trusted confidant as we navigate the path to healing and growth together.
