Our Practice

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals move forward toward greater emotional wellness, stability, and quality of life. As a veteran, I bring a personal understanding of military culture and the unique experiences that can come with service and the transition to civilian life. My military background allows me to connect with veterans from a place of genuine understanding and respect for the strength, sacrifice, and challenges that may be part of their experiences.

My path to mental health care has been shaped by a diverse background in healthcare and public service, including experience as a registered nurse, firefighter, emergency medical technician, and correctional officer. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on resilience, trauma, high-stress environments, major life transitions, and the many challenges people may face throughout life.

I provide compassionate, individualized psychiatric care and psychotherapy in a supportive, judgment-free environment. I believe effective mental health treatment begins with listening, understanding the whole person, and working together to develop a plan that fits each individual’s needs, goals, and life experiences. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care with genuine human connection. Whether you are seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, difficulty focusing, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and actively involved in your care.

While I welcome individuals from all backgrounds, I am especially honored to provide care to fellow veterans and others who may value working with a provider who understands the culture of service and the realities of high-stress professions. At pushFRWD Psychiatry & Wellness, my focus is not simply on managing symptoms—it is on helping you take meaningful steps toward healing, growth, and moving forward.
