I am a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing psychiatric care and therapy for children, adolescents, and adults through secure telehealth. My approach to care is culturally responsive, thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I bring a diverse clinical background that includes over 12 years of RN experience across medical, surgical, and behavioral health settings, as well as over 10 years of service in the United States Navy. My background has influenced my approach to care by emphasizing professionalism, adaptability, and thoughtful decision-making, particularly in complex or high-stress situations. At Red Sofa Mental Health, I believe meaningful care starts with listening — and with honesty. Real talk means having open, respectful conversations about what is actually going on, what is helping, what is not, and what options truly make sense. Care is not rushed, conversations are not sugar-coated, and treatment decisions are made collaboratively with a focus on clarity, education, and realistic expectations. I value creating a space where patients and families feel heard, respected, and supported. Whether we are discussing symptoms, medication options, therapy goals, or next steps, the focus remains on practical, individualized care that fits your life and your values. My Approach I provide care that is: Collaborative – treatment decisions are made together Honest and transparent – clear conversations without judgment Developmentally appropriate – tailored for children, adolescents, and adults Evidence-based – grounded in current clinical research Individualized – no one-size-fits-all treatment plans When appropriate, therapy and medication management may be integrated to support more comprehensive and coordinated care. Areas of Expertise & Clinical Focus I work with a wide range of concerns, including: Anxiety disorders Mood disorders (including depression) Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Stress-related concerns and life transitions Emotional regulation difficulties Self-esteem and identity development Behavioral concerns in children and adolescents Therapeutic Approaches Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-informed care Skills-based and supportive therapy Psychoeducation and practical coping strategy development Populations Served Children Adolescents Adults LGBTQ+ individuals and families Care is provided in an affirming, respectful, and inclusive manner.
