New to Grow
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based care through medication management and therapy, helping reduce gaps in care by offering an integrated and consistent treatment approach. I incorporate lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep to support overall stability and long-term well-being. I work with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep difficulties, mood disorders, and other conditions such as psychosis or schizophrenia. My approach is safe, supportive, and trustworthy, creating a space where patients can build skills and confidence to manage their symptoms.
During the first session, we will complete a comprehensive evaluation to understand your symptoms, history, and current concerns. You will have the opportunity to share your goals, and together we will begin developing a personalized treatment plan. This may include medication management, therapy, or both, depending on your needs. The session is collaborative and focused on helping you feel comfortable, informed, and supported from the start, while ensuring that all treatment decisions are based on clinical appropriateness to support safe and effective care.
My greatest strengths include providing integrated care that combines medication management and therapy to support continuity and reduce gaps in treatment. I have worked in psychiatric settings since 2016, bringing a practical and grounded approach to care. I value patient safety, respect, and trust, and strive to advocate for each patient while maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries. I emphasize active listening and patient education, helping individuals feel informed and involved in their care. I practice within my scope and collaborate when needed to ensure safe, consistent, and effective care. My approach is individualized and focused on helping patients improve daily functioning, achieve meaningful progress, and maintain long-term stability.
All patients are welcome. Care is provided for individuals who are motivated to improve their mental health, are open to guidance, and may benefit from evidence-based medication management and/or therapy. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep difficulties, mood concerns, or conditions such as psychosis or schizophrenia, support is tailored to your individual needs. The main focus is using individualized strategies to improve daily functioning in a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment, while addressing lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep to support overall stability and well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help patients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. My approach focuses on practical problem-solving skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is integrated with medication management when appropriate to support overall improvement and daily functioning.
Multicultural
I provide culturally sensitive care that respects each patient’s background, values, and experiences. I integrate this approach with medication management when appropriate to deliver personalized and effective treatment.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help patients who feel unsure or hesitant about change gain clarity and take practical steps forward. This approach supports depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and other psychiatric conditions, while improving treatment engagement and medication adherence. It is integrated with medication management when appropriate.
