My approach
At Deep Waters Psychiatry & Wellness, I believe that there is always hope, regardless of diagnosis or past experiences. Your story is not defined by what you’ve been through—it is shaped by the choices and healing that lie ahead. My approach is grounded in the belief that true mental wellness requires understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms. I look closely at the root contributors to emotional distress—biological imbalances, psychological patterns, life experiences, stress, trauma, and the environment you live in. I value every tool that modern psychiatry offers. Functional and integrative strategies, laboratory-guided care, lifestyle interventions, therapy skills, and medication—all have a place. My role is to help you find the most appropriate and effective combination for You. My goal is simple: To support your healing so you can thrive, reconnect with your strengths, and live with meaning, purpose, and joy. I believe that every person deserves the chance to feel well, to belong, and to move toward the life they envision.

Meet the Provider
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care across the lifespan, with a special passion for supporting children, adolescents, and young adults during important developmental years. I believe that when we take the time to understand why symptoms occur, we can create a more meaningful and effective path toward healing.
My background includes experience in consult-liaison psychiatry and over twelve years as a critical care nurse in high-acuity medical and trauma settings. This foundation shaped my belief that mental health and physical health are deeply connected and should be addressed together.
My approach centers on thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that looks beyond diagnoses alone. When medication is indicated, it is used carefully and as part of a broader plan focused on restoring balance and emotional stability.
As a parent of a neurodiverse child, I understand the concerns and hopes that families often carry. I intentionally keep my practice small, so care remains personal and consistent. My goal is to offer a calm, supportive space where patients and families feel heard, understood, and guided toward healing.
