I have always been interested in people, their stories, and the experiences that shape who they are. Before entering nursing, I earned a degree in liberal studies with a focus on history, American studies, and anthropology. My interest in understanding the past and how it influences the present made psychiatry a natural fit for me. 

I believe people begin to heal when they feel genuinely heard, and I believe good care begins with listening and taking the time to understand the person behind the symptoms. I hope to create a warm, collaborative space where patients feel comfortable sharing their concerns, asking questions, and taking an active role in their care. I approach treatment as a partnership, combining evidence-based care with each patient’s unique needs, preferences, and goals.

I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and spent many years in Washington, DC, before making Wilmington my home. I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, and my clinical career has been dedicated to psychiatric care. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

I am currently completing a post-master’s Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certificate at George Washington University. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading, learning about history, scuba diving, and spending as much time near the water as possible.
