I am dual certified as a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner as well as a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have worked in various fields as a Registered Nurse and saw how mental health was closely tied to physical health, but my passion for mental health started with new moms because that was something to which I could relate.

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

During the initial visit, I will do a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. I will figure out your story, gather information that would help identify any mental health issues and then develop a treatment plan that is individualized and tailored to your specific needs.

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

I firmly believe that right diagnosis is key to right treatment, so I will take the time to listen to what you are experiencing, where you need help, and how my role can fit into that to achieve best outcome. I have experience in the residential setting, so many of the people I have treated have had symptoms so extreme that it disrupts their life so greatly that they need to put it on hold and have daily treatment for weeks or months at a time. I also am aware of many of the issues that lead up to an inpatient treatment, so I can be proactive in the outpatient setting in hopes to prevent an inpatient need.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am the kind of person that is hesitant to follow blindly. Instead, give me a reason why and educate me on the recommendation you are making and then I will be completely on board. I expect nothing different from the people coming to me for help, so I try to take time to explain the choices I am recommending. I love working with people who are motivated to take charge of their life and be an active participant in their care.
