a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and the founder of Focus & Flourish Behavioral Health. I provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care for children, teens, and adults, especially those navigating anxiety, depression, postpartum challenges, binge eating disorder, and ADHD.

My practice is designed with flexibility in mind, offering early morning, evening, and limited weekend appointments to make care accessible for people with full plates and nontraditional schedules. Whether you're a shift worker, a night owl, or a parent juggling too many demands, I believe mental health support should be available when you need it, not just when it’s convenient for the system.

Before becoming a psychiatric provider, I worked as a classroom teacher, where I gained firsthand experience supporting students with diverse needs. I’ve seen how easily bright, sensitive, or overwhelmed minds can be misunderstood or overlooked without the right tools and guidance.

My background includes years as a postpartum nurse, caring for mothers during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions. Having personally experienced postpartum anxiety, I know how isolating and overwhelming that time can feel. I’m passionate about providing thoughtful, validating care for new and seasoned parents alike, supporting emotional wellness through all stages of parenthood.

I also bring personal insight into the world of disordered eating. Living with binge eating disorder has given me a deep understanding of how complex and emotionally charged our relationship with food can be, and how much shame and frustration often come along with it. My approach is rooted in empathy, nonjudgment, and the belief that healing is possible, especially when treatment is personalized and collaborative.

At Focus & Flourish, my goal is to meet you where you are, with honesty, empathy, and clinical care that respects your time, your goals, and your lived experience. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I’m honored to walk alongside you.
