Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Psychoeducation
I have over four years of experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and over 20 years in the field of psychiatry. In my practice, I focus on medication management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation to provide comprehensive care for my patients. My experience with medication management includes prescribing and monitoring psychiatric medications, assessing their efficacy, and adjusting dosages as needed to optimize treatment outcomes. I ensure that patients are informed about their medications and potential side effects, helping them feel more comfortable and engaged in their treatment plans. Supportive therapy plays a vital role in my practice. I provide a safe space for patients to discuss their concerns and feelings. This therapeutic relationship fosters trust and allows me to better understand each patient’s unique circumstances, which is essential for effective treatment. Psychoeducation is another crucial aspect of my approach. I educate patients about their mental health conditions, treatment options, and coping strategies. This empowers them to take an active role in their recovery and promotes better adherence to treatment. Overall, my extensive experience in psychiatry allows me to effectively integrate medication management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation to support my patients in achieving their mental health goals.
