First session
During our first session, my main goal is to understand and learn my patients as a person. I want to learn the person separate from the disorder, and how I can tailor their care plan according to their mental health needs.
Strengths
My greatest strengths as a provider is my 10 years experience as a nurse in various clinical settings including intensive care, long-term care, correctional/prison, supervisor/management, wound specialist, and psychiatric inpatient care. Now as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I remain compassionate and empathetic towards my patients. I'm skilled in emotional intelligence as well as effective communication when communicating with my patients.
Ideal clients
I'm experienced and best positioned to serve mood disorders, ADHD, and anxiety disorders in all age groups. Also, as a man and person of color I've been successful in treating many cases involving men from ages 18 to 90 years old as well as minority patients of all ages.
Treatment methods
Compassion-Focused
As a provider, I don't believe in pushing medications or treatment plans onto a patient. My patients are in control of their care plan, and I'm here to assist them as best as I can with medication management and compassionate care. My main focus is to understand my patient's individual lifestyles, so that I can treat their symptoms according to their individual needs.
