Hello ! I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based in Southern California. I received my Master's at Regis College and have been practicing in mental health for more than 7 years. My role involves assessing, diagnosing, and treating various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, personality disorder and schizophrenia as well as providing therapy to those of all ages. I'm here to support you on your mental health journey. Together, we'll work towards improving your well-being and fostering long-lasting recovery.

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

In the initial session, clients can anticipate a comprehensive assessment of their mental health concerns, including symptoms, history, and goals. We'll discuss treatment options, which may include therapy, medication, or referrals. Building rapport and establishing a supportive therapeutic relationship are key priorities to ensure clients feel heard and understood from the outset.

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

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to provide empathetic, evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs. I excel in fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship, empowering clients to actively participate in their treatment journey. With a holistic approach that considers both mental and physical well-being, I strive to promote comprehensive healing and recovery for every individual under my care.
