Hi! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years’ experience in healthcare. I completed my graduate studies at Walden University (Minnesota), where I received a Master of Science in Nursing Degree with honors. I offer behavioral health services to those of all ages and backgrounds. I approach each patient’s mental health with empathy and compassion. I strongly believe in focusing on the patient as a whole by addressing not only mental illnesses, but also considering patients overall wellbeing, emotional state, and environmental factors.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions. I will then take a lot of time getting to know the specific concerns and challenges you are facing. We will go over your history in detail. Once I have gotten a good feel for who you are and how I can best help you, together we will develop a treatment plan that works best for you.

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

With 17 years of expertise, I am efficient at providing a safe and confidential environment where patients are seen, heard, and valued. By utilizing a thoughtful, individualized, and patient collaborative treatment approach, I help patients reach their highest potential of mental wellbeing. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I focus on the root cause of your issues, concerns, and diagnosis. Looking at the why and the what will help us to design a treatment program that not only allows us to treat your current symptoms, but also assist us in treating why it is happening. I look forward to helping you start ANEW journey!

My treatment methods

Supportive

I strongly believe in a supportive, patient centered, and collaborative approach to treatment. I offer my patients a warm supportive environment. I have found that this down to earth practical approach to treatment empowers patients to develop mechanisms to support their mental health, which in turn may improve the rest of their life. With my guidance, patients often experience improved self-esteem, better coping skills, and reduced anxiety. I primarily focuses on providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life circumstances or psychological challenges. My services may include interventions to encourage patients during crisis or other therapeutic measures that promote positive effects on their overall mental health. This may include coping skills, talk therapy, behavioral changes, and medication management.
