I have a Masters degree from university of Massachusetts, Amherst. I’m a Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a 2 + experience in a large outpatient clinic. I have worked with different age groups for medication management based on their individual needs. I can help you manage and maintain a healthy mind set based on your individual needs and goals.

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

Initial assessment is about an hour getting to know your needs and starting an individualized treatment plan. I follow up in 3-4 weeks with any medication initiation/change to assess effect or treatment change needs. We then follow up for assessment every 10-12 weeks or longer depending on individual treatment

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

Having worked with different cultures and age groups , I have developed the art of listening, paying attention to different needs and developing an individualized treatment for my different patients. I also have patients assisting with their treatment plans based on their individual goals. We follow up regularly to discuss progress towards individual goals.

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

I love working with young adults who have difficulty transitioning in career goals and family life. I especially love working with minorities who may wants to work with someone who understand their struggles. I work with patients and families to identify their unmet needs that may affect their mental health. I work to accommodate patients schedules and I’m able to see patients after work as well as on the weekends as needed.
