As a double-boarded pediatric and psychiatric nurse practitioner, I am deeply passionate about the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. I have cultivated a unique skill set that allows me to effectively address the complex, emotional, and psychological needs of young patients.

 

My journey in healthcare began with a strong foundation in pediatric nursing where I developed a profound understanding of child development and the importance of nurturing mental health from an early age. This inspired me to specialize in pediatric psychiatry where I focus on providing compassionate, evidence-based care to children and their families.

 

I am committed to creating safe and supportive environment for my patients, utilizing a holistic approach that encompasses supportive therapy, medication management, and family education. I believe in the power of collaboration, working closely with families, schools, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care.

 

In addition to my clinical practice, I am actively involved in community outreach and education, advocating for mental health awareness, and access to care for children and adolescents. My goal is to empower young individuals to thrive emotionally, and mentally, helping them navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.

 

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and volunteering with local animal shelters. I am excited to continue making a positive impact in the lives of my young patients and their families.
