First session
I take a personalized approach to each patient's care, tailoring the treatments to meet their unique needs. As an experienced Prescriber, I use evidence-based practices to help my patients achieve their mental health goals. Your initial appointment can last 60-75 minutes Follow up appointments can last 30 minutes, depending on how much time we need for re-evaluation, medication management and/or solution focused brief therapy. This allows me to get to know you and provide a better quality of care.
Strengths
As a double certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, I bring a wealth of expertise in delivering comprehensive healthcare to individuals of all ages. My professional journey began in the fast-paced Emergency Department. However, my true calling emerged when I witnessed the challenges faced by patients in acute episodes of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other mental health issues such as mania or psychosis. Fueled by this impactful experience, I pursued advanced studies and obtained two board certifications, enabling me to address both psychiatric and family healthcare needs. Today, I am driven by an unwavering passion for providing accessible mental health services to all patients in need. My mission is to empower individuals to achieve optimal mental well-being and enhance their overall quality of life. With a compassionate and patient-centered approach, I strive to create a nurturing environment where individuals can feel heard, understood, and supported. My dedication to excellence and ongoing commitment to professional growth allow me to stay at the forefront of evidence-based practices in the field of mental health. I take immense pride in being a trusted advocate for my patients, collaborating with them to develop personalized treatment plans that promote healing and resilience. By combining my diverse skill set and clinical knowledge, I aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health challenges.

Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I do not offer separate therapy sessions, but I do incorporate Solution Focused Brief Therapy in my evaluation and medication management sessions. SFBT is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. SFBT is a hope friendly, positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
