Hello, I`m a primary Mental Health Nurse practitioner and Family Nurse practitioner board certified and Licensed in state of California with a Doctorate degree in mental health. I help Adults struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. I have a strong mental health background working in emergency room, out patient mental health clinic and inpatient. I use both pharmacotherapy ( medication) and psychotherapy (CBT, Psychoeducation and mindfulness, etc.; ) when treating my clients.
During our first session, we will start with a brief introduction, then move onto the specific challenges you're currently dealing with. This will help me create a tailored and individualized treatment plan for us to work through in subsequent sessions
In my years of practice, I've learned the importance of being an attentive listener. I work with empathy and compassion. I take a non-judgmental approach towards my work and treat my clients' challenges holistically.
I love working with adult clients from age 18 and above. This age population is more prone to life stressor grieving, loss, that might trigger mental health problems ranging from anxiety, depression, acute stress d/o, adjustment disorder and PTSD. I enjoy helping them get back on their feet and I find fulfillment in making an impact in these underserved population (Mental health, and substance use population).
