Hi! I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) licensed in both California and Nevada. I received my Masters from the Walden University and have been in Mental health for 7 years. I help young adults and adolescents who struggle to be heard or respected with compassion, understanding, using psychotherapy and medication management.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in mental health for the past 7 years, Oftentimes, I am always saddened when a patient’s physical wounds and pain are inappropriately questioned due to their mental illness status. Rather than becoming disappointed in the healthcare system, I’ve strengthened my resolve and have determined to make a difference as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Psychological Testing And Evaluation
During a psychiatric evaluation, I gather information through interview with the patient, reviewing their medical and psychiatric history, and may use standardized psychological tests or questionnaires to assess specific symptoms or conditions. This helps me understand a patient’s mental health status, symptoms, and overall functioning. It is the foundation I use in establishing a diagnosis and creating a treatment plan.
