I’m an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) who cares for children and adolescents in Outpatient Psychiatry. I approach patient care with authenticity and transparency, and I partner with patients in their care.

My career choice was guided by a motivation to satisfy the human need for empathy and desire to help young people achieve emotional wellness. I believe that early intervention is crucial to reach that goal. I'm an educator, involver and advocate for patients and families so that they may better understand their care.

I like to spend my free time with my husband, daughter and our three dogs, especially outside. We enjoy frequent travel, visits to extended family and playing old-school Nintendo games.
