Greetings, I am a Licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner based in Ohio. I received my second Master's from Kent State University. I also have a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Walden University. I have been practicing for six years. I help populations that struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction to live the best life possible.

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

In the first session together there will be a brief introduction and then addressing the challenges they are faced with. I would have the patient explain their challenges and we would as a team, collaborate on a plan to put in place. The patient would be a partner in forming a relationship with the NP and coping strategies to direct their care.

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

My greatest strength as a provider is my ease of making patients feel safe with me. Explaining to them that this is a joint relationship to help them overcome their challenges. Making the patient a part of directing their care with the instilling coping strategies that we as a team build on. I also have struggled with a mental illness of deprssion and anxiety. I share this with my patients so they can see I am a real person not just a provider.

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

I love working with populations starting at the age of 15 who are struggling with addiction, bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to build a therapeutic relationship with them to help them reach their goals through coping mechanisms.
