I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I trained at Vanderbilt University. In my previous life, I was a literature nerd (still am, actually!) earning a BA from Cornell University and an MA from CUNY Hunter College. I spend a lot of my free time hanging with my pit bull mix, Leon.

I help individuals who are experiencing challenging life transitions, acute or chronic anxiety, eating disorders, depression, ADHD, mood/bipolar disorder, insomnia and alcohol/chemical dependency issues. I work closely with LGBTQ folks and I am very interested in supporting BIPOC populations.

I currently offer Ketamine and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy when appropriate.

I work with clients during their times of wellness in order to create a more balanced, mindful and body-centered consciousness. I have considerable experience working with individuals who are reconsidering their relationship to alcohol and other substances. Psychiatric medications, especially when combined with psychotherapy and a mindfulness practice can play an important role in achieving a greater sense of consistency and balance. 

I offer a non-judgmental space and I understand how important it is to meet you exactly where you are while supporting your discovery of what matters most in your life. After a thorough psychiatric evaluation that explores the biological, psycho-social and spiritual issues and ideas affecting your lived experience, we will decide together what medications, if any, would be best.

My CA NP License number is 95005292

I have a collaborating psychiatrist that supervises my work. Please contact me if you’re interested in that information.
