Hello, I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner with 23 years of nursing experience, and I’ve been specializing in psychiatric care for the last 5 years. My ideal clients are those managing depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. I aim to help them achieve mental wellness, minimize side effects from treatment, and feel supported on their journey to a more fulfilling and stable life. I specialize in a personalized approach that combines therapy with the smallest necessary dose of medication. I offer a supportive environment where clients can feel heard and guided towards their mental health goals. I’m here to support you on your journey to mental wellness.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most evidence-based approaches in mental health treatment. I integrate CBT techniques in my work by guiding clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and gradually modify behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.
Psychoeducation
By understanding their condition and the rationale behind treatment approaches (whether it’s medication, therapy, or lifestyle adjustments), clients often become more engaged and motivated to adhere to treatment plans. This can lead to better long-term outcomes. Psychoeducation isn’t only for clients; family members and caregivers also benefit from understanding the condition. This shared knowledge can reduce stigma, improve communication, and foster a supportive environment for recovery.
