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.

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

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.

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

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.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with individuals who require information on the coping skills and tools necessary to implement changes in their lives.
