I am a bilingual Doctor of Nursing Practice with double certification in Adult Acute Care and Psychiatric-Mental Health and over 10 years of professional experience. I am also a University Professor for upcoming nurse practitioners, a Mental Health Counselor, and a Holistic Wellness Practitioner. With a compassionate and realistic approach, I provide therapeutic and psychiatry services, treating children and adults.
The possible time expectancies are 55 minutes for an initial appointment and 25 for medication follow-ups. I have an open policy regarding emails with a turnaround answer of less than 10 hours.
I am a compassionate and realistic mental health provider who approaches psychiatry services and treats patients, both children and adults, as a vocation, never as a business.
"When you work with me, you are part of a team. I will celebrate your victories and support you through your setbacks. While I can prescribe medications like other providers, my holistic approach involves thoroughly investigating and gaining a clear understanding of diagnoses, medications, and treatments."
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common type of talk therapy (psychotherapy). CBT helps individuals become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking, allowing them to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. CBT can be a very helpful tool, either on its own or combined with other therapies, in treating mental health disorders such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or an eating disorder.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mental health treatment technique that involves a specific eye movement pattern to process traumatic memories. The goal of EMDR is to help individuals heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences.
