About Me
I have been in the field of nursing since 2010. For 5 years, I worked as a trauma nurse in Austin, TX. That work helped me discover my speciality, and in 2015 I pursued my Masters in Nursing, completing my graduate work in 2017 to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
While working as a trauma nurse, I found joy in caring for people during the most stressful moments in their lives as well as in celebrating their victories. I have been honored to be the trusted caregiver for countless patients and their families over the last twelve years.
I have had the good fortune of working with compassionate, skilled
psychotherapists who inspire my work.
In my time as a nurse practitioner, I have enjoyed my role as psychotherapist to patients experiencing wide ranging challenges. The greatest value I provide is the emotional safety from which to discuss the hard things that are happening in your life. I will guide you through our discussions so that we may find ways to make substantive and lasting change happen for you. I have done so for many patients.
My goal is to help people thrive, not just cope.

Disclaimer:
While prescribing medication is likely to be part of most patient's treatment plans, it is important to note that there are legal restrictions on types of medications I am able to provide in a telehealth platform.
In accordance with the Ryan Haight Act, I am legally unable to prescribe controlled substances via telepsychiatry, such as stimulants (e.g. Adderall, Ritalin) or benzodiazepines (e.g. xanax, clonazepam). In-person visits are rquired if such prescriptions are being requested.
