PMHNP, 5 years of experience
I am a licensed certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have been working as a NP since initially graduating in 2019 with my Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I utilize a nonjudgmental approach to working with patients, and utilize a variety of techniques towards helping them become their best selves, not just medication. I also have experience in functional medicine as well, for those wanting solutions that don't necessarily require medication, but lifestyle changes for optimum mental health.
The first session will be a history gathering appointment and recommendations for medications to start if needed. I do not put every patient on medications if their concerns can be handled through therapy alone. I will take the time to sit and listen to them as they share their story, and work as a team to help them meet their mental health goals.
I am easily approachable and try to meet every patient at their level.
My goal is to meet the patient where they are at, so I am willing to work with anyone who needs help.
I have gone through formal training to apply this therapy modality to a range of mental health issues.
