Mental health that makes sense.
Mental health should not be an afterthought. It belongs at the center of care — integrated into women’s health, primary care, specialty medicine, and beyond. Because everyone deserves compassionate mental health care that is easy to access and truly effective.
With years of clinical leadership experience as a dual board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, I partner with healthcare leaders, startups, and academic institutions to make mental health make sense: accessible, evidence-based, and seamlessly woven into existing systems.
Whether supporting CEOs and medical directors in driving quality, or helping individuals access the care they deserve, I bring expertise with a human touch — professional, practical, and approachable.
Transforming mental healthcare
I’ve seen how hard it can be when high quality mental healthcare is treated as an afterthought. Patients fall through the cracks. Leaders struggle to drive quality. Mental health providers struggle to improve outcomes.
If you’re a healthcare leader or founder, I’ll help you weave high quality mental healthcare into your systems so your patients — and your teams — thrive.
If you’re part of an academic institution, I’ll help you prepare the next generation of providers with the skills to care for the whole person.
If you’re an individual, I’ll meet you where you are, with care that feels down-to-earth and fits into your life.
