Nice to meet you!

Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP-BC)

My work is rooted in the belief that healing requires both science and soul- the willingness to look inward, confront the shadow, and build a new relationship with the self. 

I work in St. Pete - Downtown, Virtual

My hourly rate is: $390 for Psychiatric Intake and $195 for Follow-up Appointments 

Let's get to know each other!

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience helping patients who struggle with a multitude of mental health issues. I have two bachelor's degrees in psychology and nursing and a master's degree in psychiatric nursing. I spent the first part of my career in the hospitals and transitioned to outpatient working in a community mental health clinic, which prepared me to treat the most complex patients. I got into psychiatry because of my family and personal history of mental health and there's nothing more gratifying to me than seeing patients heal. As a proud lesbian, I also emphasize treatment for the LGBT+ community as we face unique challenges related to our identity. My style is laid-back but direct; I don't sugarcoat things, but I also think psychiatric care should come with compassion, humor, and collaboration.  

A bit more about me…

My ideal patient is someone who is tired of pretending like everything is fine when it isn't. Maybe your depression is keeping you from spending quality time with your family. Maybe your anxiety causes panic attacks every time you want to go out and have fun with your friends. Maybe you're on the verge of losing your job because you can't seem to get your time management under control or meet important deadlines. Or maybe you're just exhausted with keeping the mask on. If you feel like any of this applies to you, you're in the right place. Expect a full assessment of your needs with compassion and a high likelihood of one of my cats crashing the session.

Fun Facts:

  • I collect antique perfume bottles
  • Interior design is my side passion
  • I spent 8 weeks in Japan and tried dried crickets
  • I'm a Scorpio Rising, Gemini Sun, and Pisces Moon for the astrology experts
