I am a Navy veteran and have been a registered nurse since 2006. I have 7 years experience in medical/surgical nursing, case management and education. I have 8 years experience in psychiatric nursing and 4 years experience as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I believe in a holistic approach and client-centered care. I utilize education about mental health to assist clients in their recovery process.
In our first session, we'll start with introductions and goals for treatment such as medication management and/or psychotherapy. I will ask questions to determine current symptoms you're experiencing and gear the visit based on the treatment you prefer.
I am compassionate, empathetic and a good listener. I will respect your decision on your preference for treatment and provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your options. I am direct and honest.
I enjoy working with individuals who require information on the coping skills and tools necessary to implement changes in their lives.
Psychoeducation
Educating clients in the whats, whys and hows is important in understanding how to process, reflect and incorporate change in a person's life.
