Your mental health care starts here! With a profound commitment to physical health and mental well-being, I am a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner in Family Medicine and Psychiatry. As a Psychiatric Mental Health NP, I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of common conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, as well as other mental health conditions with a concentration on woman-centered psychiatric care. My approach to mental health care is both holistic and/or medicinal, depending on my client's individualized needs.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
An initial visit, scheduled for one hour, includes a full psychiatric assessment and comprehensive evaluation. The first session also focuses on building trust and therapeutic alliance, as well as establishing goals which are necessary for mutual engagement in the work of successful therapy and/or medication management.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a provider is having emotional intelligence which enables me to actively listen and connect with my clients. Helping clients during their most challenging times requires empathy, understanding, and a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting environment. I am a strong advocate for my clients in that I promote understanding and acceptance while addressing their complex and diverse needs.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am best positioned to serve clients who are seeking evidence-based strategies to manage their symptoms. The right medication plan minimizes side effects and optimizes therapeutic outcomes. In addition to medication management, psychotherapy and counseling services are offered. The ideal client is open to challenging negative thought patterns, learning new coping mechanisms, and is motivated to actively participate in their treatment with a commitment to personal growth and development.
