New to Grow
As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Partners in Mental Health & Wellness, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered care across diverse populations. My professional background includes advanced clinical training and experience in assessing, diagnosing, and managing both acute and chronic conditions. I earned my doctoral degree through rigorous education focused on clinical excellence, and evidence-based practice. I provide comprehensive treatments including mental health assessments, diagnosis, medication management, crisis management, and patient education
My approach to providing care is grounded in a patient-centered philosophy that prioritizes each individual’s unique needs and values. I integrate evidence-based practice with clinical expertise to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality care. I emphasize preventive care and patient education to promote long-term health and wellness. I strive to create a compassionate environment where patients feel supported, respected, and empowered in their healthcare decisions. I also utilize evidence-based Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) such as Buprenorphine (Suboxone), Naltrexone, and Campral to manage substance use disorders (Alcohol & Opioid dependence).
My goal is to create a respectful, and welcoming environment that allows us to explore your concerns together. I conduct a thorough assessment, listen attentively to any concerns, and work collaboratively with you to understand your mental health goals. I will provide you with a clear communication, personalized care, and a treatment plan tailored to your mental needs.
I work with clients struggling with any mental health-related symptom(s). I can help address your main concerns with a focused and personalized approach. A typical treatment plan will include targeted strategies, practical tools, and ongoing support tailored to your mental health needs. With this approach, you can expect improved outcomes, greater confidence, and lasting positive change. I also work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or at a turning point and are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. They come to my practice seeking clarity and practical strategies to navigate challenges such as symptoms, stress, or major life transitions. They might be motivated but unsure how to move forward on their own. I can help to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and develop personalized tools for growth. Together, we can move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and a clearer sense of direction.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
At Partners in Mental Health & Wellness, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as one of several evidence-based approaches to help individuals better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This collaborative, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
Compassion Focused
My clinical practice incorporates principles of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to help individuals develop greater self-compassion, reduce shame, and manage self-critical thoughts. I create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is an essential part of my treatment approach, empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to better understand their mental health and actively participate in their care. I provide clear, evidence-based education about psychiatric conditions, symptoms, treatment options, medications, lifestyle factors, and coping strategies in a way that is easy to understand and relevant to each person’s unique needs. My goal is to help patients make informed decisions, reduce stigma and uncertainty, improve treatment adherence, and build confidence in managing their mental health. I encourage questions and collaborative discussions, ensuring that every patient feels informed, supported, and engaged throughout the treatment process. Through psychoeducation, patients gain practical tools that promote resilience, self-awareness, and long-term emotional wellness.
