With over 13 years of experience in the healthcare field, I am a compassionate and dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in personalized mental health care for both high-risk and general populations. I believe in employing a collaborative approach, ensuring patients feel heard, respected, and fully engaged in their treatment journey. Recognized for the ability to address complex mental health challenges, I work closely with individuals to uncover the root causes of their concerns and develop tailored, evidence-based treatment plans that prioritize patient comfort and confidence. Whether working with those facing significant life challenges or managing everyday mental health needs, I strive to provide care that is supportive, patient-centered, and empowering. By fostering open communication and creating a safe, judgment-free environment, I help patients regain balance and build resilience in an attempt to achieve lasting mental wellness.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a practitioner, I focus on the root cause of your issues, concerns, and diagnosis. Looking at the why and the what will help me to design a treatment program that not only allows me to treat your current symptoms, but also assist us in treating why it is happening. I address both your mental health and wellness needs. I explore your mental health, medical history, family history, diet, daily activities and overall lifestyle. I may recommend conventional pharmacological management and/or integrate supplements as part of your treatment plan. I work with you based on your needs and wants. I am your partner in your mental health and wellness journey. My goal is to optimize and restore your mental health with an emphasis on total health not just the treatment of symptoms. I achieve this goal working in partnership with you, your wants, your needs, and preferences.
