About me

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein Basically, saying the mindset that created a problem is incapable of resolving it, since it tends to repeat and reinforce the same patterns. In Einstein’s view, genuine solutions demand new perspectives and a willingness to change. And here you are.... Hello! I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Florida. I completed my Masters and PMHNP education at Nova Southeastern University and have been practicing for over 5 years. My focus is on helping and supporting adolescents and adults to navigate daily challenges of depression and anxiety to become the best versions of themselves. I am available daily, nights and weekends.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I believe the first session should be to develop trust, to create a space where you can openly share your thoughts, struggles and hopes. Together, we will explore coping strategies and set achievable goals. I am here to support you on your journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In addition to my years of experience as an ER nurse, I believe my easy-going personality and non-judgmental attitude have been an asset to my work.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My passion lies in helping individuals discover their inner strength and resilience. Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a guiding hand to navigate the twists and turns. Whether it’s managing anxiety, overcoming depression, or simply striving for personal growth.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I assist individuals in recognizing negative thought patterns and altering beliefs that contribute to depression, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness. Additionally, I focus on coping skills, problem-solving techniques, and encouraging enjoyable activities to enhance overall well-being.

Motivational Interviewing

I encourage clients to openly discuss their feelings about change. By helping them recognize the benefits of change, we work together to set small, achievable goals.

Compassion Focused

I create a safe and supportive environment that encourages people to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.

Bernadette was very welcoming and knew just how to get me to relax and helped me break down all of my emotions while finding the best medication that could help me improve my quality of life. I am thankful that she has great availability and is very open with her communication (and hilarious). She is very willing to suggest things you may like, such as music or books. She really does go above and beyond.
