(she/her)
I am a bilingual Doctor of Nursing Practice with dual certification in Adult Acute Care and Psychiatric-Mental Health, boasting over 10 years of professional experience. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a dedicated university professor, shaping the next generation of nurse practitioners. As a mental health counselor and holistic wellness practitioner, I confidently deliver CBT and psychiatric services to children and adults, employing a compassionate yet realistic approach.
The initial appointment typically lasts 55-60 minutes, while medication follow-up appointments are usually 25 -30 minutes. I maintain an open email policy with a response time of under 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 become part of a supportive team that genuinely cares about your journey. I will celebrate your successes with you and stand by your side during challenging times. Although I can prescribe medications just like other providers, my holistic approach means I take the time to deeply understand your diagnoses, medications, and treatments. Together, we will navigate your path to health and wellness.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
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.
