Hello, my name is Verona. I'm a dual board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar, and mood disorders to gain insight into their illness, as well as help them cope through therapy and medicinal intervention to become the best version of themselves. I provide a secure and private environment where each person feels heard and empowered to pursue a clear recovery path. As time is our most valuable commodity, I enjoy working with clients who entrust their care to me.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial meeting, we'll start with a quick introduction and then get into the particular difficulties you're encountering. This will assist me in developing a specific strategy for us to work through in subsequent sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a mental health nurse practitioner, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to listen to my clients, while empathizing with the challenges they are facing. I provide a secure and nonjudgmental environment in which to share ideas and emotions. I have a strong background in psychiatric care and understand the complexities of mental health disorders, which allows me to offer personalized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each individual. I take the time to discuss drugs, including adverse effects and projected treatment results. I am present in the moment with my clients which enables me to effectively collaborate with them, their families, and other healthcare professionals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with clients ages 17 and older, as well as healthcare professionals who have given so much of themselves to others who feel burnt out, unappreciated, and overwhelmed in school, work, or having relationship issues. I can help. If you don't have the tools to regain insight, I can help. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder, feeling overwhelmed by your illness, and seeking a professional who can assist you in overcoming these challenges, I can help.
