I was born and raised in Southeast Missouri and am proud to serve the community I call home. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Master of Science in Nursing, and Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, giving me a strong foundation to provide high-quality, evidence-based care.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and individualized treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. My goal is to deliver care that is both effective and compassionate, ensuring each patient feels respected, understood, and supported.

I understand that mental health is complex and deeply personal. I take the time to thoroughly assess each patient’s needs and develop tailored treatment plans focused on stability, symptom improvement, and long-term well-being. I also prioritize education and collaboration, helping patients better understand their mental health and take an active role in their care.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters, being outdoors, staying active, and caring for animals. I believe in the importance of balance and overall wellness, and I bring that perspective into the care I provide.

It is a privilege to support my patients on their mental health journey, and I am dedicated to helping each individual reach their fullest potential.
