Hi there! My name is Moses, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with many years of psychiatry experience helping individuals achieve their mental health goals.

I use skillful approach to medication management, provides psychotherapeutic support, and work collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve stability and progress in their mental well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During your session, you can expect to have an environment of trust, empathy, safety, and support. The session will begin with a brief introduction and what goals you intend to achieve in seeking treatment. My goal is to know you, not just your symptoms; and to collaborate with you in developing a personalized treatment plan aimed at improving your emotional and psychological well-being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am generally open-minded because I understand every individual is different. Besides, trust, empathy, understanding, and respect are the core principles of my practice. You can expect to get these during your visit with me. I work to build trust and confidence in my patients to enhance their self-coping skills while addressing their mental and emotional health needs.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help my patients deal with unpleasant internal phenomena causing anxiety, depression, or other mental health problems. One key feature of CBT is cognitive restructuring, which is aimed at changing maladaptive thinking patterns that is often associated with negative feelings and emotions. It is a collaborative process where we work together to identify the root cause of the problem, promote behavioral activation, and problem-solve to arrive at appropriate solutions.
Supportive
I use supportive therapy to provide encouragement, support and validation to clients during a difficult time in their lives. The goal is to enable you deal with immediate, pressing needs by talking about identified problems in a safe, trusting, and non-judgmental environment while promoting problem-solving and symptom relief.
