I have over 16 years of experience as a nurse and I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, licensed in Florida. I strive to treat each patient with respect and provide individualized treatment interventions and goals which helps to provide mental clarity and optimum balance. I am here to listen first, then together we will formulate the best treatment plan that best suites your needs.
During our first session, I will begin by introducing myself and explaining the purpose of our time together. This is a space for you to share openlyâso Iâll invite you to introduce yourself and tell me what feels most challenging right now, as well as what you hope to gain from our work together. From there, Iâll ask questions to better understand your history, your current concerns, and your goals. Weâll talk about what has and hasnât worked for you in the past, and whatâs most important to you moving forward. Before we wrap up, Iâll share my professional recommendations and outline the best approach to meet your needs. Most importantly, weâll collaborateâso that your treatment plan feels personalized, practical, and aligned with the outcomes you want to achieve.
Clients often share that what stands out most about working with me is my upbeat, positive outlook and my genuine care for their well-being. I strive to create an atmosphere where people feel safe, understood, and truly supportedâmany describe our sessions as having an âat-home feeling.â I am an excellent listener who values honesty and trust, and I work hard to meet each client where they are. My approach is solution-oriented and collaborative, blending professional expertise with compassion and warmth. Clients have described me as âbrilliant and marvelous,â âvery friendly and understanding,â and someone who makes it easy to open upâeven for those who usually find it hard to trust. I am grateful for this feedback, and it reflects my deepest commitment: to help people feel safe, supported, and empowered to move forward in their mental health journey.
My ideal clients are individuals who are motivated to improve their mental health and open to exploring both therapeutic conversations and evidence-based medication management. I am best positioned to serve adults who experience anxiety, depression, mood changes, or difficulty coping with life transitions. Many of my clients value a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where their concerns are taken seriously and their treatment is tailored to their personal goals. Whether you are seeking symptom relief, greater emotional balance, or tools to navigate stress, I work with you to build a clear plan that supports both your mental wellness and overall quality of life.
Motivational Interviewing
I have extensive experience utilizing motivational interviewing (MI) as a therapeutic technique across diverse patient populations, including individuals managing anxiety, depression, substance use, and behavioral change challenges. My training and clinical application of MI have focused on creating a collaborative, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment that empowers patients to explore their ambivalence and strengthen their own intrinsic motivation for change.

My initial visit was such a refreshing experience. She was incredibly welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was how insightful and well versed she was, not just about the reason for my visit, but about my overall health and how everything connects. Itâs rare to find someone who takes such a thoughtful approach, and I truly felt heard and understood.

I have struggled to talk to people. I felt very relaxed with her. She is very attentive and listens to what you have to say. She is extremely knowledgeable. I am very thankful to have found her! I now feel like I have someone who is vested in helping me.
