I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing medication management and supportive therapy to a wide variety of clients. I received my post-master's specialization from Florida State University in 2019 while still working as a family nurse practitioner at a private psychiatric practice. Before that, I was an RN for 19 years in a variety of settings including critical care, acute psychiatry, partial hospitalization, and residential settings.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session can take up to an hour. We will discuss your concerns and goals for treatment. In addition, I will gather the information needed to make a diagnosis, and from there we will create a treatment plan that's right for you. If medication is part of that plan, we will meet for follow up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I approach each of my clients with genuine respect and empathy. I value a client's input and believe the best outcomes are achieved through teamwork.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I'm seeking to build collaborative relationships with motivated patients who have a sincere desire to improve their mental health or maintain an effective regimen. I look forward to working together to serve your mental health interests.
