PMHNP, 4 years of experience
As a board-certified mental health nurse practitioner, I’m passionate about the transformative power of prioritizing mental health. With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, 4 years as psychiatric nurse practitioner and 16 years as a mental health nurse, I've focused my work over the on empowering people, particularly who are facing mental health issues. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. I am credentialed to see clients virtually in Arizona and Washington state.
My clients should be able to come out of every interaction with me feeling fulfilled and secure in the care that is being provided for them. My goal is to provide a warm and welcoming environment to allow my patients to comfortably share their stories.
I like to set up an individualized approach with each patient I encounter. As I work with my patients I like to make sure they are involved in their care and provide an environment that is comfortable where trust can be established from the start of our interaction.
I serve patients seeking to improve their mental health and wellness.
In my approach to CBT, I focus on creating a collaborative, supportive environment where clients feel safe and understood. The process begins with understanding the client’s unique concerns and identifying the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their struggles. I work closely with clients to challenge unrealistic or distorted thoughts, helping them see situations more clearly and realistically.
