I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who is passionate about connecting with my clients to determine an individual treatment plan that works. I have extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, but have found helping individuals in the community to be most fulfilling. I obtained my bachelorette in nursing from Ohio University and my Master of Science in Nursing from Maryville University where the focus was in mental health. My expertise is in utilizing the best evidence available to guide treatment decisions while incorporating a holistic approach unique to the individual. I understand that starting medication can be a big decision, and in some cases medication may not be appropriate; I do not “push meds”. Connecting with each client is a vital part of my practice. I view each person as important, not “a number“. I find checking in regularly about goals and current satisfaction helps foster a trusting client/provider relationship focused on growth.
I specialize in the treatment of ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and Bipolar Disorder II, and work under the supervision and collaboration of a psychiatrist

I am a Graduate student at Wayne State University currently completing my Social Work Master’s degree and internship. I recently completed my Bachelor of Social Work and Minor in Psychology at Wayne State University as well. I have had the privilege in advocating for and providing services for families with children who were victims of abuse. I have worked with families in their journey towards healing and becoming the best version of themselves as they can be through providing a safe and judgement-free space. I speak both Spanish and English, which only aided the services I was able provide families. I believe my own culture, spirituality, morals, and experiences will help me connect with many. Our experiences shape who we are, but it is up to us on how those experiences take their effect. Life can be unpredictable, but by balancing what it throws at us may we find peace.
