Greetings, I am dual-certified in family and psychiatric mental health care as a Nurse Practitioner. I believe in treating my patients with respect and compassion. I have practiced for over six years in a variety of settings, including internal medicine, family medicine, and mental health. I enjoy working with diverse people from a variety of cultures, and I specialize in working with people of color to provide a safe space to focus on complete mental health.

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

My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session. We focus on rapport building initially and I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or like they are giving up their past to someone they don't know. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable. Mostly, clients tell me they feel like they have chatted with a friend but realize there has been growth in the conversation. To me, that is the way it should be.

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

As a clinician I enjoys working with all patients but I excel when managing both bipolar clients and clients experiencing episodes of anxiety and depression. While working with mood disorder patients I take a collaborative approach that has been successful at keeping clients engaged in their treatment and promoting medication compliance, which often leads to mood stability.
