Who I Help
For those carrying what feels unbearable
Struggling with Suicidal Thoughts
You're ready for change but keep hitting walls. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, or other substances — I'll help you find your way to the other side, no matter how many times you've tried before.
You may be determined to quit but can't seem to break free. You might be self-medicating to numb the pain of trauma, grief, or loss. Perhaps hopelessness has made getting through each day feel like too much. I see people in these moments — and I don't look away.
Fighting Addiction
You're ready for change but keep hitting walls. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, or other substances — I'll help you find your way to the other side, no matter how many times you've tried before.
Drowning in Depression
Especially when it's rooted in grief, loss, divorce, or trauma you can't shake — I help you find your way back to yourself, or to a version of yourself you haven't met yet.
Carrying Complex Trauma
Veterans, survivors, people with PTSD that won't let go. You deserve care that honors what you've been through without rushing you to "get over it."

My Approach
Medication when you need it.
Wellness as a priority.
“I meet you where you are. No matter how many times you’ve relapsed, restarted, or felt like giving up — I don’t judge, and I don’t rush.”
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I can prescribe medication, order labs, and provide the medical care you need. But I also know that a prescription alone doesn't heal a life.
In our sessions, you'll learn mindfulness techniques, CBT strategies, and nervous system tools that work long after we stop meeting. I track your progress with real metrics — not just how you feel, but how you're functioning. Are you getting up? Engaging with the people you love? Moving toward your goals?
I'm honest about what I see, clear about what I recommend, and firm about safety. But sustainable change happens at your pace, not mine.
