Hi there, I am a board-certified (ANCC) Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). Over 22 years of nursing practice, Marva has had the privilege of working in many diverse practice areas, including Trauma ER, primary care family practice, and pain management. Much of her experience has been as a Psychiatric ER emergency nurse. You are not alone. You got this, and there is hope. Asking for help can be difficult, and finding a provider you trust to help you guide you through mental health care can be challenging. But you don't need to suffer alone. I am here for you.

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

Marva believes that anyone can achieve long-term psychological well-being. Because therapy is essential, my treatment guidelines emphasize the importance of physical activity, strengthening the mind, and adequate sleep. Additionally, effective communication, better-coping skills, and more consistent nutrition are all also stressed. Medicines should be used in conjunction with these interventions and never as the sole focus of the client’s care.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Marva has dedicated herself to working with individuals with mental health needs. She is working hard to discover and identify individuals' qualities and challenges. She truly cares about her clients, and she wants to provide a holistic approach to their care. Marva's primary goal is to improve her patients' function and overall quality of life.

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

My greatest strength is my dedication to my clients, and I am constantly evolving and looking for ways to accommodate each client to their personal needs better.
