Hello, I'm a dual-certified Nurse practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Texas. I received my post-master's degree from Walden University. I have been practicing as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner for over six years, managing both chronic conditions and some psychiatric conditions. I believe mental health is as important as physical health, so providing holistic, patient-centered care to patients with mental health needs will help improve patient symptoms and lead to better patient outcomes.

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

In our first session, we will get to learn about what symptoms and challenges you are facing with your mental health. On a case-by-case basis, we may be able to derive a mental health diagnosis at our first session. Still, if more data gathering is needed, then we will continue from where we left off at our initial visit, derive a diagnosis at the second visit, and then develop a treatment plan after the diagnosis is in place. Follow-up sessions will build upon our last visit and the treatment modification plan implemented at each visit and going forward.

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

Having had the opportunity and privilege to work with patients across the lifespan in various healthcare settings over the last six years, such as primary care clinics, rehabilitation centers, and in-patient hospitals, my experiences have prepared me to deliver holistic patient-centered care effectively.
