My journey in health care began in 2003 as a paramedic, where I had the privilege of helping people in their most critical moments. Before that, I served as a hostage negotiator, an experience that first introduced me to working with individuals struggling with their mental health.

After a career-ending injury cut my time as a paramedic short, I became a registered nurse, but I soon realized my true calling was in mental health care. That path led me to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), where I now dedicate my work to helping individuals facing both mild and severe mental health challenges. I am also certified as a Master Psychopharmacologist by the Neuroscience Education Institute, allowing me to provide informed, evidence-based treatment.

At Mind to Mind Counseling, I am committed to offering compassionate, personalized care for individuals ages 13 to 70. I believe that mental health care should be a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard. My goal is to help you improve your well-being and overall quality of life.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, reading, weightlifting, and enjoying nature. In the warmer months, you’ll often find me out on the mountain lakes, and in the winter, I enjoy woodworking and home improvement projects.

I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to better mental health.
