Hi! I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in Florida with over ten years of nursing experience in the psychiatric field, ranging from child and adult inpatient and outpatient settings. I received my doctorate at the University of North Florida and immediately started working as a psychiatric nurse in an Inpatient Stabilization Unit. I enjoy serving patients of all ages and with any mental health concerns. I work with individuals with Bipolar, ADHD, GAD, MDD, and more. I believe in creating an individualized plan of care that values client involvement, interprofessional collaboration, and evidence-based practice. My goal for my clients is to feel empowered to treat their illnesses through supportive education in a stigma-free environment. In addition to my practical experience, I have a unique ability to connect with individuals, a capacity to understand them, and the empathy to meet them where they are. A client can expect their initial visit to include a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, determination of treatment goals, and education about diagnosis and available treatment options.
In our first session, we'll briefly introduce ourselves and dive into the specific challenges. I will gather information about your personal and medical history, current symptoms, and any relevant life events. I'm going to ask about your emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning. Additionally, the evaluation will include questions about your thoughts, feelings, and any past experiences that could contribute to your current situation. This process helps me understand your unique context and tailor a suitable treatment plan.
I have strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Additionally, I'm detail-oriented, have good problem-solving skills, and demonstrate genuine care for my patients.
I love working with children and their parents. As a mother, I understand firsthand how difficult it is to have a child who is not well. My goal when I work with families is to listen to their needs, be empathetic, and formulate an effective treatment plan.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past three years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation helps my clients to understand their diagnoses and treatment, and their family to improve treatment outcome.
Integrative
I offer an integrative treatment approach that includes medication management, therapy, supplements, lifestyle coaching, sleep hygiene and more.

She is simply the best. She actually listens to you and really cares about her patients. I can’t say enough good things about her! It’s rare to find someone as genuine and caring as her. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her. She has already helped me so much! 😊
