(she/her)
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I received my master’s degrees from The Catholic University of America and Liberty University respectively. I have been practicing as a healthcare provider for over 7 years. As a mental health nurse practitioner, I help people struggling with mental health conditions including but not limited to depression, anxiety, eating disorder, and bipolar by being there for them at their time of need. Side Note: As a personal decision I do not prescribe Benzodiazepines.
The first appointment typically lasts about 60 minutes and is designed to help me get to know you, understand your concerns, and begin developing a treatment plan that fits your needs. Because the first session involves a comprehensive evaluation, most of the time will focus on gathering information and understanding your history, while future visits will focus more on ongoing treatment, progress, and adjustments to your care plan. During this initial session, we will discuss your current symptoms and the reasons you are seeking care at this time. I will ask questions about your mental health history, medical history, medications, sleep and eating patterns, stressors, relationships, work or school functioning, and lifestyle factors that may be affecting your well-being. This information helps me form a complete picture of your mental and physical health. This session also gives you an opportunity to ask questions, share your goals for treatment, and discuss any concerns you may have about medications or therapy. We will also review any previous treatments, including therapy, medications, or other approaches you have tried in the past, and discuss what has or has not worked for you. If appropriate, we may talk about treatment options, which can include medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, or other supportive interventions. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to support your mental health, improve functioning, and help you move toward greater stability and well-being by creating a safe, collaborative environment where you feel comfortable discussing what you are experiencing.
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is my commitment to collaborative, patient-centered care that balances evidence-based psychiatric treatment with a holistic understanding of each individual’s life circumstances. I recognize that mental health symptoms rarely occur in isolation, so I take time to understand the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to what a person is experiencing. This means I combine thorough psychiatric assessment, medication management when appropriate, and supportive psychotherapy with practical strategies that help patients improve daily functioning. I focus on helping individuals develop coping skills, emotional insight, and realistic behavioral changes that support long-term stability rather than relying solely on medication adjustments. Another aspect of my therapeutic approach is my collaborative style of care. I believe treatment decisions should be made together. I provide education about diagnoses, medication options, and therapeutic approaches so patients can make informed choices about their care. My goal is not only symptom reduction but also helping individuals build resilience, regain a sense of control, and improve their overall quality of life.
As a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am best positioned to serve individuals who are ready to better understand themselves and actively engage in their mental wellness journey. I work especially well with individuals experiencing anxiety disorders, major depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders. Many of my clients are high functioning but feel overwhelmed and struggling with mood instability, persistent worry, difficulty concentrating, emotional regulation challenges, or cycles of burnout. Others may feel stuck, discouraged, or frustrated after trying to manage symptoms on their own. I am particularly well suited for clients who: - Are open to a collaborative and goal-oriented approach - Want clarity around diagnosis and medication options - Value education about their condition and treatment choices - Are motivated to improve functioning at work, school, or in relationships - Desire a supportive but structured environment to build coping skills My therapeutic style blends evidence-based medication management with supportive and skills-focused psychotherapy, emphasizing empowerment, insight, and sustainable change. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care plan. In general, I am well positioned to support individuals who are seeking compassionate, structured, and practical psychiatric care with clear goals and measurable progress.
Interpersonal
As a provider, I strive to identify and understand my clients’ interpersonal issues and how they contribute to their mental health concerns. And build a strong and trusting relationship with my clients by creating a safe space where my clients can feel heard and be able to explore their mental health concerns.
Compassion Focused
I am compassionate and provide comfort and reassurance for my clients, especially during the difficult times of their mental health concerns. I tailor my approach to my client’s individual needs by building a therapeutic relationship that is based on trust and collaboration.
Psychodynamic
I aim to explore the unconscious mind of my clients to understand how past experiences, especially those from childhood, influence their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By helping them freely express their thoughts and feelings without censorship, so as to create a therapeutic relationship that is based on trust and open communication.
Mind-body approach
The recent pandemic shed a great light on the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. As a holistic healthcare provider my clinical approach stresses on the influence of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors on my client’s physical well-being, and vice versa.
