Overview

I’m a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Acute Care NP. Before launching my practice, I spent nearly two decades in critical care and hospital medicine, where I saw how often emotional suffering is overlooked in traditional healthcare. I also witnessed how deeply people long to be heard, feel safe, and receive care that honors their full complexity. This practice was born from that experience.

I work with adults ages 21 to 99 across Washington State, offering telehealth and in person sessions in Tacoma. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, trauma, grief, body image concerns, and burnout, with a focus on medication management and supportive psychotherapy

My approach is integrative, trauma informed, and collaborative, blending evidence-based care with mindfulness and somatic practices. I see people, not diagnoses. If you are exhausted or unsure where to begin, you are not alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you.
