My Story

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 7 years of nursing experience in the psychiatric field, I have had the privilege of serving individuals across various age groups and backgrounds, from children and adolescents to adults and the elderly, addressing issues ranging from chronic pain to substance abuse.

My approach to care is rooted in compassion and empathy, guided by a strong belief in the inherent worth of each individual I serve. I am dedicated to providing medication management for those facing mental health challenges and readily facilitate referrals for talk therapy when needed—ensuring a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing.

Having earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Coppin State University, I embarked on my nursing career at Sheppard Pratt Hospital, where I worked in the child inpatient unit. Through these experiences, I recognized a profound need for increased access to high-quality care for individuals of low socioeconomic status and ethnic/racial minorities, igniting a passion to advocate for equitable and inclusive healthcare practices.

Throughout my journey, which included graduate studies at Wilkes University and travel nursing across various states, I honed my skills and knowledge to better serve my community. As a PMHNP, my role is to assess, diagnose, and treat the mental health needs of my patients with a focus on chronic conditions such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, substance abuse, and PTSD.

​

I am committed to utilizing evidence-based practices to offer patient-centered care that empowers individuals to navigate their mental health journey with confidence and resilience. My ultimate goal is to create a stigma-free environment where my clients feel supported and educated, leading to strengthened communities and transformed lives for all those I have the privilege to serve.
