I’m an psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who believes that mental health care should honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I take a holistic, personalized approach to healing that combines traditional psychiatry with Integrative and traditional medicine, trauma-informed care, and mind-body practices. My goal is not just symptom management, but a deeper, lasting transformation for those I work with.

My journey into psychiatry wasn’t a straight line. It was shaped by both personal experiences and professional realizations. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that true healing comes when we look beyond just medications or traditional therapy, and address the root causes of distress. This realization grew from my work with high-performing professionals, women navigating life transitions, and trauma survivors, many of whom were not finding the lasting relief they needed in conventional mental health care. I began to ask myself: What’s missing? How can I help my patients not just feel better, but heal on a deeper level? That’s when I began exploring integrative treatment options, nutritional support, and mind-body healing, all of which now play a central role in my practice.

The path that led me to this work was inspired by my deep respect for the power of healing in all its forms. I’ve always been fascinated by how the mind, body, and spirit interact, and I believe that addressing each of these areas leads to the most profound changes. Over the years, I’ve learned that trauma, stress, and life transitions often show up in the body, in ways we don’t always recognize, and can significantly impact our mental health. That’s why I combine cutting-edge mental health treatments with functional lab testing, nutritional guidance, and mindfulness practices to create personalized, holistic care plans.
