I am deeply passionate about assisting individuals on their journey towards achieving optimal mental well-being. As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I deliver personalized, high-quality mental health care to clients aged 18-99 years. My approach involves conducting comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and collaboratively creating tailored treatment plans that consider all factors influencing mental health. With over 12 years of experience across various healthcare settings, including community mental health clinics and private practice, I prioritize treating every individual with utmost compassion, respect, and honesty.

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

Our initial session is a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, which I refer to as 'getting to know you.' This assessment is designed to gain deep insight into your history, individual circumstances, and the presenting signs and symptoms that are impacting your mental health. Using the guidelines outlined in the DSM-5, I make a diagnosis to better understand your condition. I collaborate closely with you to formulate a personalized plan of care, following the guidelines set by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and prioritizing evidence-based practices. I am passionate about educating you about mental illness, helping you understand your condition, treatment options, and empowering you to make informed decisions about your care. My dedication is to empower you on the journey to emotional wellness, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care tailored to your unique needs and goals.

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

My approach is client-centered, treating individuals with respect, compassion, and honesty is a priority for me as a provider. My goal is to empower clients to take charge of their mental health journey, provide guidance and support to help restore balance and achieve emotional wellness.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

You specialize in helping clients facing diverse challenges such as working mothers dealing with depression and work-life balance, students struggling with concentration and assignments, young professionals navigating relationships and work-related anxiety or depression, and individuals with mood disorders seeking medication management along with psychotherapy. I prefer working with clients who are committed to investing time and effort to achieve improved mental health outcomes.
