I am excited that you have chosen to take the step to managing your mental health. We always take care of our physical health and often not our mental health totally unaware of the interconnectedness of both. I am a dually certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner with several years of experience in health care. I have experience working in emergency and family medicine, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient substance abuse clinics, and psychiatric rehabilitation. If you are having issues with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, panic disorder, substance abuse or other mental health issues we can work together to develop a treatment plan to get you feeling well again. It doesn't matter where you are in your journey to wellness, my goal is to work with you to develop an evidence-based treatment plan that best suits you and your goals. Let’s talk!!
During our first session, we will start with a brief introduction of ourselves. We will then discuss the specific challenges you are facing and develop a treatment plan to help meet your goals, which we will work on during your follow up sessions.
I am a great listener, very empathetic, and compassionate. Your input regarding your treatment plan is highly valued. I believe education is a key component in developing an individualized treatment plan.
Clients that are ages 18 and up that need help managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse or other mood disorders.
I use CBT to show you how your thoughts affect your mood. My goal is to help you explore ways to help you think less negative about yourself and your life.
The use of DBT is to help you accept your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The goal of DBT is to help you to explore and identify techniques to manage thoughts, feelings, and behavior in a positive way.
