I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner primarily working with young adults and women’s mental health. I began my career at an inpatient adolescent unit, where I worked closely with teenagers and found a passion for that age group.

At Rivia Mind, I have enjoyed working with college-age students and young adults who are often experiencing mental health treatment for the first time or navigating their lives on their own for the first time. I have been grateful to help my clients navigate this time and serve as a sounding board for them.

I hope my clients know I truly enjoy getting to know each and every one of them. I love the process of building a therapeutic relationship and watching the positive changes that come over my clients in my time with them.

I approach mental health treatment with a strong emphasis on the relationship between practitioner and client. This serves as the basis for effective care and creates a space where my clients feel comfortable opening up about their personal struggles. I see myself and my clients as a team and am always on my clients’ side, rooting for them.
