Hi, I am a dual certified Nurse practitioner (Psychiatric NP/ Family NP) based in Atlanta, Georgia. I received both my Doctoral in Nursing and Psychiatric NP from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio and my Family Nurse Practitioner from Georgia state University. I have been practicing for 7 years. I manage people of all ages (6yrs- 99+) struggling with mental health disorders through education, diagnosing, treatments, psychotherapy and implementing behavioral interventions.

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

In our first session together, we will star with a brief introduction, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing, past history, previous/ current medications and treatments This helps me to create an individualized tailored plan for you and in our future follow-ups.

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

Having worked in the medical fields for over 25 plus years caring for patients in different settings , I have developed tried and effective tools that helped patients to feel comfortable in sharing their challenges/ root causes. I have created a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
