Before treating mental health conditions, I spent years learning how to care for the whole person.
I believe meaningful mental health care begins with understanding the whole person—their story, strengths, relationships, experiences, and goals.
My journey in healthcare began with more than a decade of caring for infants, children, adolescents, and their families as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Throughout my career, I have worked across primary care, urgent care, and school-based health settings, supporting children and families through a wide range of physical health, developmental, and emotional challenges.
My experience in school-based healthcare has given me a unique perspective on the many factors that influence mental health, including family relationships, school environments, life transitions, and the challenges young people face while growing and developing. I have had the privilege of partnering with students, families, educators, and healthcare teams to support children and adolescents where they are.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I now bring this foundation into psychiatric care for adolescents and adults. I combine my understanding of development, family systems, and whole-person health with evidence-based psychiatric assessment and treatment to provide thoughtful, individualized care.
I believe mental health treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Medication can be an important tool for some individuals, but it is not the only path to wellness. I take a collaborative approach, taking time to understand each person's experiences and goals while developing a treatment plan that may include education, therapeutic strategies, lifestyle approaches, and medication when appropriate.
At Shoreline Support & Wellness, my goal is to create a supportive, respectful space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate their mental health journey.
