I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) serving patients of all ages and Mental health diagnoses. My background of more than 15 years in the healthcare field has helped me gain a wealth of knowledge in providing mental health services to patients from all backgrounds. Before becoming a Nurse practitioner, I worked as an RN in dialysis, medical-surgical, long-term care, and inpatient psychiatry. My desire to pursue an Advanced Mental health degree was brought about by the desire to help patients with a growing need for mental health services. I am passionate about providing comprehensive mental health services to adults and adolescents. I thrive in meeting people at their point of need and seeing them get better. I Graduated from Midwestern State University with a bachelor’s degree and later a Master’s from Walden University. I am Board certified as PMHNP from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and 2 boys, traveling, walking, swimming, and listening to music

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

During our first appointment, I will provide a welcoming environment, making sure that the patient feels free to share their mental health struggles and hoping that together, we can come up with a solution on how to manage and cope with their day-to-day challenges. I will foster trust through an empathetic and respectful attitude I have developed through several years of clinical experience. My goal is to develop lasting relationships with patients and their families, ensuring they feel supported throughout their mental health journey.

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

My greatest strength as a provider is listening to my patients, identifying the root cause of their mental health journey, and involving them in decision making about the treatment plan.
