I am a Dual Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice licensed to practice in Florida. As a doctoral-prepared nurse practitioner with over thirteen years of experience, I am empowered to take a holistic and individualized approach to every client, knowing that mental health can affect multiple areas of one's life. So, if you are feeling overwhelmed and seeking to live a well-balanced life, you have come to the right place. I focus on treating mood disorders, trauma, psychotic disorders, substance abuse, and chronic mental illness through psychiatric assessment, medication management, and brief psychotherapeutic intervention for pre-teens, teens, adults, and older adults. I believe in creating an individualized care plan that values client involvement, inter-professional collaboration, and evidence-based practice. My goal for my clients is to feel empowered to treat their illnesses through supportive education in a stigma-free environment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strength is empowering my patients to improve their overall well-being, including making them brave to make decisions, can self-regulate, and develop perseverance. These are all attributes that help us with self-worth.
