A grounded space for life-altering transitions

I specialize in holistically supporting the whole person through the emotional fallout of life’s sharpest pivots, health crises, and the unique, often-dismissed challenges of midlife. Whether you are navigating the acute biological transitions of perimenopause or the quiet, heavy burnout and shifting identities, this chapter can completely destabilize your nervous system and your sense of self.

I provide the grounded, integrative care needed to help you stop white-knuckling your way through these transitions and step into a renewed, hopeful chapter of wellness. 

Clinical Support Built on the Extremes of Human Experience

Before becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my clinical foundation was built across the most intense environments in healthcare. Working in cardiac, ICU, labor and delivery, and hospice, I guided patients and their families through the absolute extremes of the human experience, from the shock of acute hospitalization and the unpredictable traumas of childbirth to the delicate threshold of end-of-life care.

Later, as a corporate Nurse Case Manager working in disability and behavioral health, I saw firsthand how executive pressure and medical leave can completely destabilize a person's financial security and sense of identity.

Together, these experiences have taught me when the foundational pieces of your life or your inner world are suddenly turned upside down, you need more than just logistical management. You need a provider who understands the deep psychological weight of that shift. 

The Personal Experience Behind the Practice

I don't just understand major life disruptions clinically. I know what it feels like to have the rug pulled out from beneath my own life.

In my mid-20s, my world was completely upended. A devastating cancer diagnosis brought the terrifying reality of a serious health crisis, medical and surgical trauma, abrupt hormone shifts, and the heavy grief of losing my reproductive future. As the compounding stress led to the end of my marriage, I was left to navigate recovery as a single parent, all while grieving the sudden, unexpected loss of my own primary parent.

That season of survival was a masterclass in the trauma and immense grief that accompany unexpected life disruptions. It shapes every aspect of how I practice today. Because I have walked through my own darkest chapters, I am uniquely equipped to hold space for yours, and I am dedicated to helping you move through it.
