ABOUT ME

I began my medical journey twenty five years ago in the high-stakes environments of the ICU, Emergency Room, and Flight Nursing. But my true specialization was born from my own lived experience as a parent. When my oldest child struggled with profound behavioral and developmental challenges, navigating the fragmented healthcare system felt impossible.

It wasn't until we found a developmental-behavioral provider who explained how brain development drives behavior that our home began to heal.

Determined to bring that exact breakthrough to other families, I returned to school to specialize. Today, as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced pediatric fellowships in mental health, developmental pediatrics, and developmental trauma (NMT), my life's work is simple: to help parents and children find deep harmony, and to help neurodivergent or traumatized children step into their full potential.
