I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with expertise in diagnosis, medication management and psychotherapy . I believe mental healthcare should be humane and patient-centered NOT merely transactional. I shift from a disease management model to a humanistic and holistic care model. In simple words, you can expect caring and compassionate attention in each and every session- taking in consideration your medical history, nutrition, social support , spiritual health and various others factors. Through a therapeutic relationship, my goal is to optimize your mental wellness while building an environment of trust, safety, and acceptance. At the end of our session you should feel heard and understood with a clear understanding of our treatment plan moving forward.

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

Work together to create a personalized holistic treatment plan which best meets your mental health needs. I take in consideration all aspects of a human being's life including culture, access to support from their social network, their current physical health, socioeconomic background and current life stressors. You can expect a safe , welcoming and judgement free session. My clinic welcomes patients from all walks of life and backgrounds!

I have a passion and commitment to bringing mental healthcare that is humanistic and authentic NOT transactional. I aim to help clients transforms their lives and overcome challenges. I treat my patients as valuable human beings , not another psychiatric case.
