Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, mood swings, trauma, OCD, sleep difficulties, or behavioral challenges? Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated because nothing seems to be working? You are not alone, and support is available.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults throughout Florida via telehealth, with in-person appointments also available in Sarasota. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD/trauma, OCD, insomnia, mood instability, and emotional or behavioral dysregulation.

For children and teens, concerns may include difficulty focusing, hyperactivity, emotional outbursts, defiance, school struggles, anxiety, social difficulties, or sleep problems. I work closely with families to create practical treatment plans that support success at home, in school, and in relationships.

For adults, symptoms often include chronic stress, burnout, racing thoughts, panic, depression, irritability, intrusive thoughts, poor concentration, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Many adults seek care after years of silently struggling or trying to “push through” without support.

For older adults, concerns may include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, sleep disruption, memory-related concerns, adjustment to life changes, caregiver stress, or mood changes related to health conditions. My approach emphasizes compassionate, respectful care that supports emotional wellness and quality of life.

My treatment style is personalized, evidence-based, and collaborative. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. I take time to fully understand your history, symptoms, and what has or has not worked in the past so we can build a plan that truly fits you. I also incorporate a holistic, mind-body approach to care, integrating lifestyle factors, nutrition, sleep optimization, and evidence-informed natural or alternative strategies when appropriate to support overall mental wellness.

I also utilize standardized screening tools when appropriate to help clarify diagnoses, and I may recommend genetic testing to guide medication selection when clinically indicated. My focus is thoughtful, evidence-based prescribing that helps patients find the safest and most effective treatment options possible.

I frequently help patients who have:

• Tried medications without success
• Felt rushed or unheard by previous providers
• Complex or overlapping symptoms such as ADHD with anxiety, trauma with depression, or mood instability with sleep issues
• Needed clearer answers and a more thorough evaluation

Patients and families often describe my care as attentive, compassionate, and thorough, with clear explanations and shared decision-making. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and confident in your treatment plan.

I offer convenient, high-quality psychiatric care throughout Florida by telehealth, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of home, with in-person visits available in Sarasota.

If you are ready to feel more stable, more in control, and supported by a provider who truly listens, I would be honored to help.
