Hello! I am a doctorally prepared board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I received my education from the University of Florida. My ultimate goal is to help individuals achieve optimal mental well-being and enhance their quality of life by providing medication management, education, and guidance. I empower patients to navigate their mental health challenges and develop coping strategies that promote long-term recovery.

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

In the first session, clients can expect a thorough assessment, including discussing their medical and mental health history, current symptoms, and goals. I will build rapport, explain the treatment process, and collaboratively develop an initial care plan tailored to their unique needs and concerns.

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

My greatest strength as a psychiatric nurse practitioner is my empathetic, patient-centered approach. I build strong therapeutic relationships, fostering trust and collaboration. This allows me to effectively tailor treatments to each client's unique needs, promoting lasting mental health improvements and overall well-being.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I serve adolescents to older adults, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, and transitional life phases. Using approaches like Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, and medication management, I provide empathetic, evidence-based, personalized care to enhance coping skills and overall mental well-being across different life stages.
