Feel heard. Feel understood. Feel supported.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and graduate of Florida State University with over 4 years of clinical experience, I provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care grounded in collaboration and individualized treatment. I am committed to supporting patients across Broward County and Tallahassee with care focused on clarity, stability, and long-term well-being.

Throughout my training and clinical practice, I have worked with adolescents and adults across outpatient and high-acuity settings, treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including ADHD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, and substance use disorders. My experience includes diagnostic assessment, medication management, crisis stabilization, and coordination of care across multidisciplinary teams.

I approach diagnosis methodically, ensuring that symptoms are evaluated within the broader context of medical history, psychosocial stressors, and functional impact. Treatment decisions are based on current evidence, careful monitoring, and measurable outcomes.

I prioritize clear communication, safety, and steady progress. Patients can expect structured follow-up, thoughtful medication adjustments when indicated, and ongoing discussion about treatment goals. Whether meeting in-office or via secure telehealth, my goal is to provide focused, organized psychiatric care that supports meaningful and lasting improvement.
