Hi there, I'm Rose. Do you feel overwhelmed with life and feel like you don't know what to do? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself and others? I help high performers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and others. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming issues, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right decision to seek help. You deserve a safe space to heal, nurture and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion using evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

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

After our first session, an individual should take away the treatment method I will be using and also will know the role to play in his/her treatment plan.

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

Anxiety: In my experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), has been invaluable for patients struggling with anxiety. It empowers them to identify and reframe anxious thoughts and behaviors, equipping them with practical coping strategies/skills Bipolar Disorder: As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), medication management is often a fundamental aspect of bipolar disorder treatment, and I've observed its significant role in stabilizing mood and managing the condition. ADHD: In my experience, providing parent education and training is essential when working with children with ADHD. It equips parents with strategies to effectively support and manage their children's behavior, creating a more harmonious family environment. Schizoaffective Disorder: In my experience, Rehabilitation and social interactions, help individuals lead more fulfilling lives. Addiction: In my experience, addiction treatment often begins with a comprehensive and severity of the addiction. Following this, a combination of therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and support groups, can be tailored to the individual's needs. Anger Management: I've found Anger Management therapy helpful for individuals struggling with anger issues. It equips them with tools to recognize and manage anger triggers and respond to situations in healthier ways. Depression: Depression treatment typically involves various approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can assist patients in identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, while medication, when appropriate is prescribed by PMHNP/Psychiatrist. Mood Disorders: Addressing mood disorders often requires a combination of therapy and medication, tailored to the specific mood disorder. Psychoeducation and support are also crucial components for individuals and their families. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: In my experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on Exposure and Prevention (ERP) has been effective in helping patients with OCD confront their obsessions and reduce compulsive behaviors. Personality Disorder: Treatment for personality disorders typically involves long-term psychotherapy. Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or Schema Therapy may be applied to address the core patterns and difficulties associated with these disorders Suicidal Ideation: Working with individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, my primary focus is safety. Crisis intervention and ongoing therapy, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), help individuals manage these thoughts and develop coping skills. Trauma and PTSD: In my experience, trauma-focused therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy TF-CBT) have been effective in helping individuals process and heal from trauma experiences. Sexual Abuse: For individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, a combination of trauma-focused therapy, support groups, and symptoms can provide the necessary support and healing. Dissociation Disorder: In my practice, addressing dissociative disorders involves helping individuals, reconnect with their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This often requires a combination of psychotherapy, grounding techniques, and medication to manage symptoms and stabilize the sense of self.
