About me

Hi! I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner based in Minnesota. I received my Masters from Liberty University, Virginia, and have been practicing for 2 years. I help young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, career stress, and burnout become the best versions of themselves. I want to offer my clients guidance that can change their lives so they can overcome challenging circumstances, work with the assessment team, and continue their treatment and medication management. I have strong analytical skills, work well under pressure, and enjoy participating in the clinical team. I am committed to my goal and believe I have the necessary qualities as a successful mental health nurse practitioner.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with young professionals for the past 2 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with young people who are in the first few years of their careers and older adults as well . My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their careers and social lives in general.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you make sense of overwhelming problems by breaking them down into smaller parts. In CBT, problems are broken down into 5 main areas: Situations Thoughts Emotions Physical feelings Actions Your thoughts about a certain situation can often affect how you feel, both physically and emotionally, as well as how you act in response.

Psychoeducation

At its core, psychoeducation is about teaching people about their illness or condition. It aims to empower individuals by giving them knowledge and understanding, which can help them manage their symptoms, cope with challenges, and participate more actively in their treatment and recovery. Purpose and Goals: The main goals of psychoeducation include: Increasing Knowledge: Helping individuals and families understand the nature of the condition, its causes, symptoms, and prognosis. Reducing Stigma: Dispelling myths and misconceptions about mental illness, which can help reduce feelings of shame and isolation. Improving Treatment Adherence: Explaining the purpose of treatments (like medication or therapy), how they work, and the importance of following treatment plans. Developing Coping Skills: Teaching practical strategies for managing symptoms, stress, and daily challenges related to the condition. Enhancing Communication: Improving communication within families and between the individual and their healthcare providers. Promoting Recovery: Supporting the individual's journey towards recovery and improving their overall quality of life.

I really appreciate that I could be very comfortable with Dr. Eke right away. She asked a lot of open questions and gave me time to think and reminded me to breathe when it got tough. She was very patient but direct about her care and thoroughly reviewed my options and asked me at the end what I wanted to do!

Very nice and understanding. It seems like she wants to help, not just there for a paycheck. I had some trouble connecting at first, and she was very patient with that.
