My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am committed to providing holistic, patient-centered care. I incorporate mindfulness principles into my practice, using techniques such as mindful listening, breathing exercises, and meditation to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance emotional regulation. Fostering a mindful and compassionate therapeutic relationship enables me to empower my patients to cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and overall well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to empower patients to manage symptoms, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop coping strategies. Through collaborative goal-setting and problem-solving, I help patients identify and reframe distorted or unhelpful thinking, leading to improved mood regulation, increased self-esteem, and enhanced overall mental health and well-being.

She was amazing. I felt heard for the first time in a very long time. She took everything I said & came up with a solution for me that I feel will really work. Took the time to listen to everything I had to say & didn’t rush me.
