About me
I am a Board-Certified PMHNP and FMACP who blends psychiatry and functional medicine to uncover root causes and restore balance.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and a Functional Medicine Academy Certified Practitioner (FMACP). In my practice, I combine the best of psychiatry and functional medicine to uncover the root causes behind mental health and physical symptoms. Rather than relying only on medication, I take a whole-person approach - exploring gut health, nutrition, lifestyle, and stress patterns that all play a role in how you feel day to day. I work with teens and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, or hormonal imbalances. By blending evidence-based psychiatric care with functional medicine, I create personalized treatment plans that support both mind and body, with the goal of lasting healing and improved quality of life.
If you’re ready for a compassionate, whole-person approach to care, I’d be honored to work alongside you on your journey to wellness.
