Addiction counseling for substance use and recovery

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 14 years of experience specializing in mental health. I work with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and stress. My clients are often seeking clarity, emotional balance, and tools to cope and thrive. I’m passionate about helping individuals feel empowered, supported, and equipped to lead more fulfilling lives.

I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, blending evidence-based practices with holistic care. I specialize in mood disorders, trauma, and stress-related challenges, helping clients build resilience, develop coping skills, and work toward lasting emotional well-being.

I understand how hard it can be to take the first step toward healing, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and support. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward growth and balance, I invite you to take that next step because your well-being truly matters.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a master’s degree in psychology with a clinical concentration. I have experience working with men and women struggling with anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and difficulties adjusting to changing life circumstances, helping them recognize the thoughts, patterns, and internal conflicts that underlie their distress.

I take a collaborative and psychodynamic approach to therapy, working with you to discuss and examine your life, problems, and relationships to help you uncover more about what’s going on within your particular situation.

It can admittedly be a scary thing to open up about yourself, but I want to give you the opportunity to talk about things you might not ordinarily get to talk about to help improve your self-awareness and potential for growth and fulfillment.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 12 years of experience providing evidence-based psychiatric care to adolescents and adults. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and challenges related to major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, with an emphasis on understanding the full context of each client’s lived experience.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and shared decision-making. When medication is part of treatment, I prioritize education, careful monitoring, and ongoing adjustments to ensure care aligns with each client’s goals and values.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking symptom relief, greater self-understanding, or support during a difficult season, I will work alongside you at a pace that feels right. Together, we will focus on meaningful progress and sustainable mental well-being.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 9 years of experience supporting clients through a wide range of mental health concerns. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, behavioral challenges, and women’s mental health. My approach combines compassion, evidence-based care, and a focus on helping clients build clarity, confidence, and resilience in their daily lives.

I earned my doctorate in nursing from Walden University and have extensive experience providing individualized care across diverse clinical settings. I integrate psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support meaningful change.

I believe healing starts with awareness and grows through intentional, supported change. Together, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with honesty and compassion. My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving—restoring calm, clarity, and confidence as you navigate life’s challenges.
