Welcome! I am a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner with over 3 years of experience in treating individuals with mental health disorders. I practice in both, Maryland and Washington DC. I have over 25yrs experience in the nursing field with experience ranging from mental health, substance abuse treatment, Acute care, Acute Rehabilitation and long-term care setting. I provide integrated care including Psychiatric Mental Health and Substance use disorder. I am committed to assisting each client to achieve wellness through lifelong transformations. I believe in holistic care that considers not only the physical aspects of a client’s illness but the emotional and spiritual aspects as well. I believe that healing and wholeness are matters of body, mind, and spirit. ________________________________________
