I am a doctoral prepared Adult, Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with more than a decade experience. I enjoy helping people feel better and with finding a better outlook on life. I offer problem-solving skills to help navigate life and the curveballs it can throw! Sometimes you may just need someone to "vent" to and offer an unbiased opinion on your situation. I am "down to earth" in my approach. I DO NOT complete medical/ school paperwork/letters for patients UNLESS they have been established with me for 6 or more months. This is at my discretion. Paperwork can be completed for a fee. Please DO NOT expect ongoing refills, without regular follow-ups.
We will discuss your upbringing, family history, past treatment experience and we will tailor a treatment plan with goals and intervention just for you! I also performing psychotropic medication testing to help identify what medications work best for you (scientific-based and is approx. 98% covered by insurances).
My greatest strength is that most of my patients feel very comfortable talking to me, as I am very informal. My "relaxed" approach helps my patients be more open about their issue/experience without any judgment. I am also flexible with scheduling, so if the available times aren't convenient, message me and we will figure something out!
My ideal patient is one with a motivation to improve their current mindset, situation, emotions, and lifestyle. I am specifically well-educated in managing depression, weight loss/obesity, time management, goal-setting initiatives and more! Come prepared to do the required work! I am not your "typical" provider, as I use a less "formal" and more personable approach!
Providing a SAFE SPACE for ALL of my patients, regardless of gender, origin, race, ethnicity, religion, etc.
