True mental health is about more than managing symptoms—it’s about reclaiming your sense of self. With 25 years of experience in the mental health field, including 18 years as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I provide a seasoned, holistic approach to recovery. I firmly believe that you are an individual with a unique story, not a diagnosis to be managed. My practice is rooted in psychodynamic therapy to uncover the deeper origins of distress, paired with nutritional and alternative therapies to support the body and mind. I am particularly passionate about helping those who feel "stuck" or find that traditional medications haven't provided the relief they seek. By exploring the underlying etiology of your symptoms, we often find a path to wellness that reduces or even eliminates the need for conventional medication. Core Areas of Focus: Mood & Anxiety: Depression, Anxiety, OCD, and Anger Management. Life Transitions: Grief, Divorce, and Relationship/Codependency issues. Physical-Mental Connection: Chronic pain, illness, and Women’s issues. Self-Growth: Improving self-esteem and resolving interpersonal conflict. If you are looking for a collaborative partner who investigates the root cause rather than just treating the surface, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward empowered recovery.
