Hi! I have over 11 years of clinical nursing experience and I am a current board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am also a retired United States Air Force Combat Veteran. My experience in emergency and behavioral health nursing; coupled with my military service allows me to have a unique understanding of the challenges and experiences faced by individuals who have served in a first-responder capacity. I prescribe medicine using a holistic approach and offer both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical options.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will go through a comprehensive mental health assessment so I can gather information to identify and diagnose mental health conditions. I am specifically concerned with your behavioral health concerns, previous medications, if applicable, and what you have tried or would like to try. We will discuss your individual needs as well as your overall health concerns. We will work together on a care plan that fits your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My personal experiences in combat locations and working emergency medicine has provided me a unique ability to understand what clients are going through. It is my passion to help others live better lives, especially my brothers and sisters in arms. My primary specialty is medication management for behavioral health concerns. I prescribe and manage psychotropic medications, both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical to address symptoms and improve overall mental health. I also work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure holistic and coordinated care.
