PMHNP, 2 years of experience
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.
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.
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.
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.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is vital for psychiatric nurse practitioners as it enhances patient engagement, addresses ambivalence, and fosters sustainable change. MI’s patient-centered approach builds trust, increases motivation, reduces resistance, and personalizes treatment, empowering patients to actively participate in their recovery and achieve lasting behavioral improvements.
