As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), I have dedicated my life and career to the physical and mental wellbeing of others. In addition to the clinical setting, I was a Professor of Nursing Sciences at the prestigious University of Miami for 15 years. Research is paramount to me and I am passionate about providing evidence-based care to my patients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your mental health, desires, goals, and struggles are unique to you. We treat all our patients as individuals, recognizing that everyone experiences personal challenges that can hinder their quality of life. But we believe those challenges can be overcome and that everyone has the right to a fulfilling life. I assure you that at the end of each appointment, you will leave with tools to deal with the day-to-day trials, coping mechanisms for those of your past, and above all, hope for the future.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Group Therapy, Family Therapy, Mindfulness-based therapy, Vivitrol injections, Buprenorphine therapy, Psychological testing for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), Talk Therapy and Play Therapy.
