Hello, I am a Pyschiatric Nurse Practioner. I bring to you 30 years of nursing experience, 10 specifically as a Nurse Practioner. I utilize a person centered and collaborative approach to your care.
Our first session is dedicated to getting to know one another, obtaining a detailed history of symptoms and interventions trialed, answering questions and providing pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options.
I really enjoy working with adults seeking optimal mental and physical wellness.
Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach that helps people find their own motivation to change their behavior. It empowers them to take responsibility for their recovery and uses four principles of collaboration, evocation, autonomy, and support. (Verymindwell, 2024)
Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a strength-based approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving. (Verymindwell, 2024)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps people learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their behavior and emotions. (Verymindwell, 2024)
