I am an ANCC board‑certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a graduate of the University of South Alabama, where I earned my PMHNP degree in 2013. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2006.
I have extensive experience working with adults, children, and adolescents, treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions. I’m passionate about providing thoughtful, evidence‑based, and compassionate mental health care. In addition to medication management, I enjoy supporting patients through non‑pharmacologic interventions, safe and intentional deprescribing, and preventive behavioral health strategies, particularly for children and adolescents—if that’s more your vibe!
I recently relocated to the Houston area from Alabama with my husband and teenage son and am looking forward to this exciting new chapter, both professionally and personally.
