PMHNP, 2 years of experience
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) committed to providing compassionate, holistic and evidence-based mental health care. I have experience working with diverse populations across a range of healthcare settings, helping individuals navigate conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your mental health journey. My approach to care is collaborative, and includes blending medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and patient education to create customized treatment plans that support your mental wellness. Recognizing that clients lead busy lives, I provide evening and weekend appointments to accommodate your schedule. Whether you’re starting for the first time or continuing care, I’m here to help you improve your emotional well-being and quality of life.
I understand that the first session can feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel at ease. We will review important background information—such as past diagnoses, previous treatments, life factors that may be affecting your mental health, current symptoms and how they’re impacting your daily life. I’ll take the time to get to know you, understand your concerns, and work with you to establish meaningful treatment goals. Together, we’ll begin to build a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.
I believe my greatest strengths is my ability to foster a compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I prioritize building a strong and trusting rapport with my clients, as I view the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for effective care. I take the time to understand each individual's unique needs and goals, ensuring that our work together is personalized, respectful, and supportive of their journey toward healing and growth
I am experienced in treating a wide variety of mental conditions. I am best positioned to serve clients experiencing depression and anxiety. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a compassionate, client-centered framework. I work collaboratively with individuals to help them better understand their symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether someone is navigating chronic stress, trauma-related challenges, or mood instability, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where healing and growth can occur
Motivational interviewing is an effective strategy I often use to help empower clients to take charge of their treatment plan through a collaborative and person-centered approach.
I use supportive therapy in the clinic to create a safe and trusting environment where clients feel heard and validated. This approach allows me to offer consistent emotional support, reinforce healthy coping strategies, and help clients build resilience as they navigate life’s challenges and stressors.
I use Psychoeducation to help clients better understand their diagnoses, and treatment options. By providing clear, supportive information, I aim to empower clients to take an active role in their care, reduce anxiety and stigma around mental health, and improve engagement and adherence to treatment plans.
