Hi there, my name is Nadine. I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner whose mission is to help you live a balanced life. My goal is to meet you where you are in your journey to get to the goals that you have for your own life. I enjoy educating patients, their families, clinicians, and other prescribers on psychopharmacology, lifestyle modifications, nutritional support and pharmacogenomics. I value conservative but effective medication management paired with thorough evaluation and rapport-building with my clients. I have a strong patient focus and am known as an advocate for those whom I serve. I conduct in-depth psychiatric evaluations, medication management, brief supportive therapy, active wellness support and pharmacogenetic testing using Genesight Testing. I specialize in the field of psychiatry (ages 12-70 years with a focus on the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, Bipolar 1 Disorder, Insomnia, Schizoaffective Disorders, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation, Treatment Resistant Depression, Grief, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and Adjustment disorders. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I will conduct in-depth evaluation of your mental health, medical, social and present concerns. I value conservative but effective medication management paired with thorough evaluation and rapport-building with my clients. I will provide educational materials and use common metric scales and surveys during your visit. I also often will offer wellness support instructions to support your mental health and overall wellbeing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is that I am a life-long learner. I read extensively, attend conferences, and keep updated on current literature. I am an empathetic provider who sees the whole person not just a condition. I genuinely care about your well-being and that you will be cared for holistically.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Ideally clients who are committed to their mental health and to their treatment.

Motivational Interviewing
I use motivational interviewing to help clients find the motivation to make a positive behavior change. This client-centered approach is particularly effective for people who have mixed feelings about changing their behavior.
