Why did you become a healthcare provider?

I became a mental health nurse practitioner because I wanted to combine advanced clinical skills with compassionate care to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health challenges. Supporting patients on their journey to stability and wellness is both a privilege and a calling.

Do you have hobbies or a way you like to spend your time away from work?

Outside of work, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family—especially cheering on my kids as a proud soccer mom.

What do you enjoy or find most fulfilling about caring for patients?  

What I find most fulfilling about caring for my outpatient mental health patients is building strong, therapeutic relationships and supporting their long-term emotional wellness through consistent, compassionate, and individualized care.
