🌿 About Me

I’m a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatric-Mental Health (CRNP-PMH) dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional balance and recovery through compassion, expertise, and evidence-based care. My practice focuses on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of mental health conditions—including dual diagnoses and substance use disorders.

🧠 What I Do

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, psychotherapy, medication management, and life coaching, supported by appropriate medications under my DEA certification. My goal is to uncover the real mental health factors shaping each patient’s story—not to create excuses, but to empower understanding and healing.

🔒 Experience & Expertise

With over 20 years in correctional and community mental health, I’ve served diverse populations in challenging environments—collaborating with clinicians, social workers, and justice systems to ensure continuity of care. My background includes leadership roles such as the Clinical Director at the Joy of Life Clinic and service across hospitals, geriatric, and rehabilitation facilities.
