Hi everyone I am new to Grow Therapy. I am dual certified as a Family practice and Psychiatric Mental Health nurse practitioner currently accepting referrals for medication management of patients diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I have worked in the field of nursing since 2011 and in healthcare for more than twenty-five years. I work as psychiatric mental health NP primarily in a dual diagnosis clinic seeing patients for opioid addiction and mental health. I am also accepting new in-person patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder in the state of Florida. As a Family practice NP, I provide care for patients ranging in age from 7 years of age and older. I am co-owner of Elite Body & Mind Solutions a telehealth and in-person platform to provide service to families throughout Florida.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Mental health and the individual path to wellness is best achieved when we meet people where they are. I believe you are courageous and strong for acknowledging the need for help. As we work together, we will create an individualized plan to promote your health and wellness.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I am dedicated to family empowerment, women and men's issues, challenges in adolescence, depression, substance use and anxiety. Through person-centered care and other therapies, I will provide a non-judgmental and therapeutic environment that respects and addresses the complexity of your concerns. I have worked in emergency stabilization and dual diagnosis.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Life's journey and sometimes trying to navigate through its challenges can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you are a single parent, a grandparent, or someone who is seeking to live a well-balanced life. As a doctorally prepared psychiatric mental health (PMHNP-BC) and primary care nurse practitioner (FNP-C), I apply in-depth evidence-based knowledge in physical and mental health to help synergize your path to wellness. I believe that each day is an opportunity to live authentically and on purpose. Thank you for taking the first steps towards allowing me to walk virtually alongside you through this journey. Let's Go!
