Introduction

I've spent 22 years in nursing across diverse settings, but mental health is where my passion truly lies. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I'm committed to treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. I work with teenagers, young adults, adults, and elders through telehealth, offering initial psychiatric evaluations, ongoing medication management, and psychotherapy. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, and family work to address anxiety, depression, and trauma. I'm licensed in Mississippi, Louisiana, Connecticut, and Washington, and I accept Aetna, Anthem, Cigna Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. I'm currently accepting new clients and believe that healing happens when we see and understand each person's unique story and needs. If you're ready to explore what's possible for your mental health, I'm here to support you.
