Hello, my name is Abi. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adolescents and adults.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adolescents and adults.
I work with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD and trauma-related conditions, OCD, panic disorder, ADHD, impulsive or aggressive behaviors, and life stressors. My approach integrates supportive psychotherapy—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—with medication management when appropriate. I am committed to creating a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work toward emotional wellness and personal growth.
First session
During our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where you can share what brings you to care. I’ll take time to get to know you—your symptoms, personal history, and what you hope to achieve through treatment. Together, we’ll discuss your current challenges and begin developing a personalized care plan that may include therapy, lifestyle strategies, and medication options if appropriate. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and confident that we’ll work together to create a path toward better mental health and overall well-being.
Strengths
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the combination of evidence-based methods with a highly personalized and collaborative style. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts while teaching practical skills to manage emotions and behaviors. I integrate medication management when appropriate to support overall stability and enhance treatment outcomes. Clients often notice improvements in mood, focus, and daily functioning relatively quickly, and they appreciate the structured yet compassionate environment where their goals guide every step of the process. My approach emphasizes empowerment, equipping clients with tools that create lasting, meaningful change in their mental health and quality of life.
Ideal clients
I specialize in helping individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, PTSD/Trauma, Impulsive disorder, and ADHD. I work best with clients who are ready to take steps toward understanding themselves and finding balance in their daily lives. My approach is supportive and collaborative—I combine therapy techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with medication management when needed. My goal is to help you feel more in control, build confidence, and create lasting changes that support your overall well-being.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my clinical practice. My experience with CBT has been very positive, as it provides patients with practical tools to identify and reframe distorted thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors. In my practice, I use CBT both as a stand-alone intervention and as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy, depending on the patient’s diagnosis and treatment goals. For example, with patients experiencing anxiety or depression, I guide them through exercises that help them recognize negative automatic thoughts and replace them with more balanced and realistic perspectives. We also work on developing behavioral activation strategies, relaxation techniques, and coping skills to reduce avoidance and improve overall functioning. I tailor CBT interventions to each patient’s cognitive level, readiness for change, and cultural background. I often integrate structured homework assignments, thought records, and goal-setting to reinforce skills learned in session. Over time, I’ve observed significant improvements in patient insight, mood stability, and self-efficacy when CBT is applied consistently. Overall, CBT aligns well with my evidence-based approach to psychiatric care—it empowers patients to become active participants in their recovery and promotes long-term resilience.
