A Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner hailing from Los Angeles, I boast over 17 years of diverse clinical expertise, primarily in emergency nursing. Dedicated to underserved communities, my journey led me to pursue a Master's in Nursing at Charles R. Drew University of Science and Medicine in 2020, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Passionate about behavioral health, I actively work towards reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness. Currently, I serve as a mid-level provider for adult outpatient populations, finding joy in educating and caring for my patients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, clients can anticipate an open and collaborative conversation. We'll discuss your concerns, goals, and any relevant history. I aim to create a comfortable space where you can share your experiences. Additionally, we'll explore the therapeutic process, addressing any questions you may have. Together, we'll outline a personalized plan tailored to your needs, setting the foundation for a supportive and effective therapeutic journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Although I specialize in most of the common mental health disorders, I'd have to say my biggest strengths are helping people with depression, anxiety and ADHD. I'm also good in helping patients find alternatives to medication when dealing with depression and anxiety.
