Hi! My name is Makenna and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I have experience working in general psychiatry and serious mental illnesses. I have created a program for attention improvement and have found that many individuals benefit greatly. I enjoy finding helpful strategies and tools whenever possible to avoid reliance on medications. I am familiar with ketamine and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) options as well and recommend them when appropriate.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As with most initial psychiatry appointments, we will spend time discussing the problematic symptoms that prompted the visit as well as a medical, psychiatric, and medication history. We will establish a clear treatment path including goals and tools. The first visit is one hour and follow-up visits are 20-30 mins. I look to avoid long-term medication options whenever possible, but I also understand and respect psychiatric medications when properly prescribed, can be very helpful and sometimes necessary for someone's life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I used to struggle significantly with an ADHD diagnosis myself, however after researching and implementing multiple techniques, I have improved my symptoms to the point where I no longer meet the qualification for a diagnosis. I feel that attention is our highest form of currency and learning techniques for improved concentration benefits all aspects of life.
