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.
I identify as

Educating clients in the whats, whys and hows is important in understanding how to process, reflect and incorporate change in a person's life.
