As a PMHNP-BC who specializes in autism, complex cases, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use, I've built my practice around understanding that every person's mental health journey is unique—especially when multiple conditions interact or when traditional approaches haven't worked.

I also provide comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder, always with an understanding that these conditions often overlap and influence each other in complex ways. What I want you to know is this: your experiences are valid, your struggles make sense in the context of your life, and there's no such thing as being "too much" for treatment.

Whether you're masking autistic traits, battling compulsive behaviors, managing intense emotions, processing trauma, questioning reality, or struggling with substances, I meet you exactly where you are without trying to force you into a predetermined mold. My approach combines evidence-based treatments with deep respect for your individual needs and experiences.

You deserve a provider who doesn't see complexity as a problem to solve, but as a roadmap to understanding how to best support your unique path to wellness.

Accepting patients in California & Arizona for medication management!

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide holistic care for neurodivergent individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, OCD, PTSD and trauma, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice is built on the understanding that neurodivergent mental health exists within the context of your entire life experience, relationships, and the challenges of navigating a neurotypical world.

What distinguishes my approach is my commitment to understanding not just your symptoms, but how neurodivergence has shaped your life experiences. I recognize that conditions like ADHD, autism, and OCD don't exist in isolation—they interact with your trauma history, social experiences, educational background, and personal relationships in unique ways that require individualized treatment approaches.

My treatment philosophy emphasizes both celebrating neurodivergent strengths and addressing genuine challenges. I believe in helping you understand your brain, develop strategies that work with your neurotype, and process any difficult experiences you've had as a neurodivergent person in a world that often doesn't accommodate differences. Whether you're seeking diagnosis, managing multiple conditions, or working through trauma related to your neurodivergent experiences, I provide care that honors all aspects of who you are.

I'm committed to creating a therapeutic partnership where you feel genuinely understood and accepted. Together, we'll work toward building resilience, developing effective strategies, and creating a fulfilling life that celebrates your authentic neurodivergent self. I offer flexible appointment scheduling and telehealth services to accommodate the diverse needs and sensory preferences of neurodivergent individuals.
