PMHNP, 8 years of experience
Greetings, My name is Majda and I'm a professionally trained Family Nurse Practitioner with dual certification in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing across the lifespan who exemplifies the profession of nursing and values collaboration, integrity, and professional development. Ensuring high standards of culturally competent care for wide variety of patients with diverse needs. I have consistently demonstrated the ability to deliver and be an advocate for quality-focused results, while caring for my patient’s overall well-being and health.
In our initial meeting we will discuss pertinent health history and the reason for seeking care. A comprehensive and holistic approach is taken to optimize overall wellbeing and sustainable long term outcomes.
Reflective practice is a journey throughout one's life that unites compassion for personal development and commitment to promoting human dignity. This is one of the core fundamentals an individual must embrace in order to captivate knowledge and insight that pertains to their field of study. Achieving this level of practice has no marked destination but rather is attained through personal experiences. It is important to foster therapeutic relationships by understand a patient's values and beliefs, accept the decisions of others, promote evidence-based practices, incorporate holistic care, and have humility as a provider.
I enjoy working with individuals who embrace a holistic approach to their wellbeing and acknowledge that healing occurs only when they are truly ready. We are all human and may encounter difficult or challenging times but that should not define or hinder future progress. Accepting the present and learning from the experience is the only way we can GROW!

Majda is always thoughtful, patient, and listens. She never makes me feel rushed or anxious, yet always comfortable and at ease to where I can be open with her.
