For the past 12 years, my family and I have proudly called La Porte home. As a wife, mother, and healthcare provider, I understand that mental health affects every part of life—our relationships, our work, our families, and our sense of who we are. My goal is to provide a place where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported throughout your journey.

My educational background reflects a commitment to lifelong learning and clinical excellence. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame before earning my Master of Science in Nursing from the Yale School of Nursing, where I completed specialized training as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My clinical experience includes caring for children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, residential treatment, and substance use recovery.

At Athelas Psychiatry & Wellness, I believe effective psychiatric care is about more than prescribing medication. It begins with understanding your story, identifying your strengths, and partnering with you to develop a treatment plan that is both evidence-based and tailored to your unique goals. Whether that includes medication management, psychotherapy, interventional treatments such as Spravato® (esketamine), GeneSight® pharmacogenomic testing, or medical weight management, every recommendation is made with your overall well-being in mind.

The name Athelas comes from the healing plant in The Lord of the Rings, symbolizing restoration, hope, and renewal. That vision inspires everything we do. My hope is that every person who walks through our doors feels welcomed, cared for, and empowered to move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to healing.
