About Me
I joined MetroHealth in 2024, and I work as an Advanced Practice Provider in Psychiatry. You can see me at the Brecksville Health and Surgery Center Outpatient Clinic.
I am here to listen and support you. I care for people with many mental health needs, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, addiction and recovery, and developmental disabilities. I also provide care that is welcoming and supportive for LGBTQIA+ patients.
My goal is to help you feel better and live a full, healthy life. I use the Wellness Model, which means we focus on your strengths, your goals, and what matters most to you. Together, we will work on building healthy habits, preventing problems, and helping you feel your best.
I completed special training through the Integrated Community Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner Fellowship at Portage Path Behavioral Health. I earned my professional degrees from Columbus State Community College, Ohio University, and Kent State University.
I have received several awards for my work and training in mental health care. These include an award from the Health Resources and Services Administration for Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training. I also received a traineeship award from Peg’s Foundation and have been honored seven times with a traineeship award from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
I am a member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, which recognizes excellence in nursing.
