Treatment Philosophy

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my practice is rooted in a profound love for people and a deep commitment to understanding each individual’s unique experience. I believe that genuine human connection is at the heart of effective mental health care. My greatest joy comes from building meaningful relationships with my patients, listening to their stories, and walking alongside them on their journey to wellness.

I approach mental health care from a holistic and integrative perspective, recognizing that true well-being involves more than just addressing symptoms. It’s about nurturing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I see mental health as a dynamic interplay of emotional, physical, and social factors.

Ultimately, my treatment philosophy is about embracing the complexity of human experience and fostering an environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. I am dedicated to being a supportive partner in my patients’ journeys, helping them navigate their challenges and celebrate their progress.

Biography

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over a decade of experience in healthcare. I spent most of my professional life in Nashville before making the move to Atlanta in 2021. My journey in healthcare began in 2011, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for mental health with a focus on a holistic approach that encompasses all areas of a person’s life.

When I am not working, I spend my time learning, reading, spending time with my family, and crafting. I love to explore new places, ideas, and get to know people from all walks of life.
