About Me

I am the owner of Empower Wellness and have been working in the field of psychiatry since 2016. I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication treatment, including Spravato®. I have experience across a variety of settings such as outpatient and inpatient care, ACT, MAT, telemedicine, and correctional behavioral healthcare. I work with patients of all ages and have had the privilege of supporting individuals with a wide range of mental health conditions, including Autism, ADHD, DMDD, ODD, GAD, MDD, Bipolar I and II, Schizophrenia, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, OCD, PTSD, and many other disorders. Outside of my professional life, I’ve been happily married to my husband for over 20 years. Together we have three wonderful children and three dogs who keep us busy. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, watching my kids play sports, and living out my faith by serving Jesus.
