Hi! I'm a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP- BC) based in FL and also licensed in the state of CO. I received my master's from Herzing University and prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as an RN Case Manager particularly providing care to all ages across the life span. I have been practicing for over a year and enjoy pouring into individuals struggling with mental health issues to aide in their healing process.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, conduct a biopsychosocial assessment then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

Having worked with patients who suffer from severe mental illness, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to actively listen, build rapport with my patients, coupled with my strong clinical judgement and ability to tailor treatment plans to each individuals' unique needs.

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

I love working with those who may be in that dark place at the moment, as we all know it can happen to any of us. My goal is to ensure you do not stay in the dark and I am confident with insight and empathy while holding your hand through the process, you will reclaim your light. If you are struggling with suicidal ideations, bi-polar, schizophrenia, and/or any other mental illness, you deserve for the fog to be lifted and enjoy peace as well as happiness. Let's figure out how to get there together.
