I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in substance use and addiction as well as general psychiatry. In my practice I strive to provide care that centers the patient, making myself a guide of available options rather than the final decision-maker. I believe that to provide exceptional care, it is necessary to know the whole person and regularly use non-pharmacological tools to aid in my patients’ recovery such as lifestyle modifications and brief psychotherapeutic interventions. Whatever your psychiatric needs I am excited to start this journey with you to a more fulfilling and sustainable life.

I began my career as a research assistant at the University of Texas at Austin working on studies investigating some of the very medications I am able to use in my clinic today. Because of my roots in research, I pride myself in practicing with an evidence-based approach and look forward to discussing both new and tried-and-true medication options with my patients. After my time in academia, I went on to enter clinical practice as a registered nurse working at a dual diagnosis substance use disorder treatment facility. Once I received my certification as a psychiatric nurse practitioner I continued to work in residential substance use care as well as an outpatient clinic and bring several years of experience in the mental health and substance use fields. I work with patients seeking help for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, addiction, and ADHD.
