My availability for my patients is 7/7 and some days after hours till 9PM. I offer more scheduling flexibility for working people. I am board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). In addition, the Texas, Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Virginia, Maryland, and Minnesota Board of Nursing also recognizes me as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. I specialize in adolescent, adult, and geriatric psychiatry, with extensive experience working in a Private Psychiatric Clinic. I treat several conditions like Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, ADHD(No stimulants), Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, Polysubstance dependency (Suboxone Certified), PTSD, Insomnia, and OCD. I earned an MBA at the University of Yaoundé (SOA) in Cameroon, then a BSN from Midwestern State University (USA), and a MSN from Walden University; currently attending the Doctorate (DNP) at UTA in Texas.

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

Integrative approach to treatment. Also, to me, you are not merely another Diagnostic. In your first session, an extensive history is beneficial for both of us, so I can fully understand your needs, and we will tailor your treatment plan based on those specific needs.

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

My knowledge in treating resistant Depression is remarkable. Therefore, I will recommend TMS therapy which is a drug-free, FDA-cleared treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to re-activate the parts of the brain affected by Depression. MicroCurrent Neurofeedback (MCN) is very effective in many areas, including Anxiety, Depression, TBI, PTSD, ADD/ADHD (No Stimulant), and Substance Abuse (Suboxone Certified). If you are not fit for TMS to treat your resistant Depression, Spravato is an alternative option.
