PMHNP, 5 years of experience
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) that treat clients across the lifespan. I have 5 years' experience working as a PMHNP/FNP and had over 20 years of working as a Mental Health Registered nurse. I pride myself on having the ability to build a genuine rapport with my patients while providing outstanding patient-centered care
During the initial psychiatric visit, you’ll be asked about your medical, psychiatric and family history. You will be asked to provide a complete list of medications, in addition to psychiatric medications. You will also be asked to disclose what medications you have tried in the past and how long you took them for. You will be asked to discuss your medical concerns and any diagnoses and psychiatric issues.
I take the time to listen and thoroughly establish a treatment plan. I am very accommodating with my schedule and ensure all needs are addressed during all visits. In addition to medication management, I incorporate an innovative approach of treatment that focuses on treating the “Mind, Body and Spirit,” to meet my client's mental, physical, and spiritual needs. I educate my clients on making lifestyle changes to improve self-care and promote wellness
I have extensive experience treating patients with a variety of behavioral, emotional, and mental health disorders which include Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, ADD/ADHD, Psychotic Disorders, Substance Use disorders, and Cognitive Disorders.
Helping clients to identify negative thinking and enforce reshaping it in a way that changes how they feel. Additionally, I help clients replace these negative behaviors with positive behaviors
I use Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy which involves talking about your condition and related issues. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behavior. With the insights and knowledge, you gain, you can learn coping and stress management skills. Medication is often ordered in conjunction with psychotherapy, although psychiatric medications don't cure mental illness, they can often significantly improve symptoms.
