As a Lifespan Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am committed to offering individualized, holistic, and comprehensive mental health treatment to each patient.
I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, eating disorders, OCD, women's health, sleep disorders, self-esteem issues, bipolar and mood disorders. I understand that mental health is multifaceted and deeply interconnected with various aspects of an individual's life, including physical health, relationships, and lifestyle factors. Therefore, my approach to treatment is tailored to address the unique needs and circumstances of each person.
First session
During the initial intake, we will have a meet and greet followed by a comprehensive assessment that takes about an hour. It's important to take the time to get to know each other and understand your individual needs and desires before developing a treatment plan. This personalized approach ensures that the treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and goals, increasing the likelihood of success.

Ideal clients
Dealing with mental health disorders can be incredibly difficult and overwhelming, and it's common to feel scared and alone when facing these challenges. However, it's important to remember that help is available and you don't have to face these struggles alone. With the right support and tools, it's possible to find balance, cultivate positive self and environmental perceptions, and manage stressors effectively. Remember that taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health, and there is no shame in seeking help when you need it.
Treatment methods
Integrative
Integrative psychiatry takes a holistic and functional approach to wellness by considering the body, mind, and environment as interconnected aspects of a person's overall health. This means that in addition to traditional treatments, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) may also be used to support mental and physical well-being, as well as lifestyle changes. It's important to remember that everyone's needs are unique, so treatment plans are personalized to address individual concerns and goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy is an approach to therapy that prioritizes empathy and the creation of a non-judgmental space for individuals to work through their thoughts and emotions. This type of therapy is focused on helping individuals self-actualize and make positive changes in their lives. As your clinician, I provide support and guidance but allow you to take the lead in your therapy journey. By prioritizing an individual's needs and goals, person-centered therapy can be an effective way to help people work through a wide range of challenges and issues.
