As a healthcare provider, my goal is to work with you to meet your healthcare needs, including your emotional and psychosocial needs. I believe in a holistic approach, evidence-based practice, and collaboration to work together to achieve our goals together. As a doctoral-prepared board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I believe that an approach of a combination of pharmacological and psychotherapy can provide the maximum benefit for patients and their families. Therefore, in my practice, I provide both medication management and psychotherapy for adults as well as children. Outside my job, I enjoy outdoor activities and nature, as much as quiet time reading a book or quality family time.

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

Typically, my first session will be mainly focused on assessing my client's physical, emotional, and overall mental health or healthcare needs. This involves information gathering, and comprehensive evaluation to see if we are a good fit for each other, ie if I can provide the healthcare and support you need, and if you think that I am the right provider for you. Your confidentiality, comfort levels, and overall mental health needs will always be my priority.

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

My greatest strengths as a mental health provider are my communication skills, compassion for helping and service, and my human skills. I empathize and connect with my clients on a human level. My compassionate nature allows me to truly listen to their concerns, understand their feelings, and provide the emotional support they need during challenging times. This empathy enables me to build trust and rapport with my clients, creating a safe and supportive environment for them to share their struggles and seek guidance.
