I practice psychiatry with clinical precision and respect for uncertainty. We use medication thoughtfully when it helps, move at an honest pace, and focus on helping you reconnect with your own judgment, curiosity, and inner strength.
Medication as a way to quiet the noise—not change who you are.
For when you feel stuck and nothing else has helped.
A calm first step—no pressure, no commitment.
I’m a PMHNP-BC and RN, BSN who works at the intersection of high-acuity medicine and lived human experience.
My foundation is in ICU and Emergency care, where precision, restraint, adaptability, and emotional steadiness are non-negotiable.
Alongside my clinical work, I’ve served as a Medical Supervisor for large-scale arts and music festivals. That role deepened my understanding of altered states, trauma, and transformation—while reinforcing the importance of structure.
My role isn’t to fix you.
It’s to provide a steady presence that helps you find your footing.

Reaching out can feel vulnerable. A consultation is meant for you to get a sense of me and the container I provide, so you can choose what feels like the safest direction to meet your goals.

The night can feel disorienting. The moon offers light—but light alone doesn’t tell you where you’re going. The second star does.
That second star is the destination: clarity, steadiness, or a sense of direction that belongs to you. I’m not the destination. I’m the navigator.
This work isn’t about going backward or chasing certainty. It’s about learning to find your bearings, even in the dark, and moving forward with intention.
