“The growing mental health crisis led me back to graduate school for certification in Psychiatry and Mental Health. I am passionate about patient-centered care, building meaningful connections, and advancing diversity, equity and inclusion. In primary care, I often managed mental health concerns without the time to fully address them. Now, as a PMHNP, I have the privilege of focusing on the heart of the matter—helping patients improve their overall well-being. When we recognize the humanity in ourselves and others, we foster stronger relationships and healthier communities.”
