Psychiatry is the confluence of neuroscience and psychology, where our understanding of the human brain/body intersects with the nuanced dynamics of behavior, emotions, and personality. Nursing is deeply rooted in the humanistic sciences of care, which complements the principles of psychiatry seamlessly.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I navigate this complex landscape by synthesizing a rigorous scientific education, over 19 years of professional experience, and the insights garnered from my personal healing journey as a human like anyone else, and as a gay man struggling to find himself in a world not designed for him.

At the heart of my practice is a commitment to cultivating a safe and inclusive environment for individuals from diverse backgrounds. I strive to establish a space where every person can find comfort and support. Drawing upon my education and professional/personal experiences, I am able to offer culturally affirming psychiatric services for all, and I am particularly attuned to persons on the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum.

I am committed to integrating evidence-based practices with a compassionate and client-centered approach, aiming to support your journey towards optimal mental health and holistic well-being.

I view mental health care as a genuine partnership rather than a rushed transaction—because getting back to feeling like yourself takes a thoughtful, practical, and truly human approach.

As a generalist psychiatric nurse practitioner, I work with clients across the entire lifespan, supporting individuals from age six through older adulthood. Drawing on over a decade of experience across critical care, emergency, and psychiatric medicine, I integrate medication management with practical lifestyle support to address real-world challenges like focus and attention issues, persistent sadness, worry, fatigue, ruminating thoughts, and relationship struggles.

Outside the clinic, my life as a gay man, husband, and father keeps me deeply grounded in the messy, beautiful balancing act of everyday life, and I bring that warm, inclusive, and down-to-earth perspective into every session.
