I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who uses medication and supportive therapies to treat patients of all ages. Initial evaluations are up to 2 hours long ($250) and give me the opportunity to get to know you and what you have been through. Follow-up medication management appointments are 30 minutes or 60 minutes ($62.50 or $125).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I take up to 2 hours for my initial evaluation so you have plenty of time to discus your health, history, and current symptoms. It is important for me to understand who you are, and what your goals are.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with people who have experienced trauma for over 30 years, in a variety of positions, I have worked with people from different backgrounds and cultures including military personnel, veterans, first responders, victims of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, people with chronic illnesses like Parkinson's disease, dementia, and their caregivers.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am comfortable working with clients of all ages (starting at age 8) who are experiencing mental health concerns and their symptoms including anxiety, audio and visual hallucination, delusions, hopelessness, insomnia, panic attacks, and sadness.
