As a dual broad-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), I am dedicated to providing holistic care that addresses both the physical and mental well-being of my patients. In my role as a PMHNP, I strive to offer compassionate support and evidence-based treatments to individuals facing mental health challenges. Through therapeutic interventions and medication management, I aim to empower my patients to navigate their emotions, overcome obstacles, and achieve optimal mental wellness. Simultaneously, as an FNP, I am committed to promoting overall health.

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

In the first session, I will introduce Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) concepts, assess your goals, and identify maladaptive thought patterns. Throughout therapy, I employ CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral interventions to challenge negative beliefs and promote positive change.

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

I specialize in providing comprehensive mental health assessments, diagnosis, and treatment plans for individuals across the lifespan. Whether it's managing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, or psychotic disorders, I offer evidence-based therapies, medication management, and support to help patients achieve optimal mental wellness.

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

I offer comprehensive support for clients who may be struggling with depression and/or anxiety, blending therapy and medication management. Our treatment plan may include CBT to reframe negative thoughts and medication to alleviate symptoms. Together, we'll work towards improved mood, enhanced coping skills, and a better quality of life.
