So many people struggle with their mental health but are hesitant to reach out for help. My goal is to create an empathetic and compassionate environment in which my patients are able to open up and express their concerns and feelings. I am board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have been practicing for over 6 years. I believe in a comprehensive approach in order to understand and treat underlying issues and achieve overall wellness.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your initial appointment may be 60-90 minutes, depending on the time that we need to formulate a treatment plan that you are comfortable with. Together we will review your medical and mental health history, family history, social history, and any other pertinent information. Please bring a list of all current medications, including over the counter supplements, and any previous records you would like to share.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Comprehensive screening tools and a detailed evaluation will be used to find the right treatment for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have extensive experience in medication management treating mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, and ADHD.
