I am a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over 15 years of mental health experience. I utilize a holistic approach specializing in treating ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, with a focus on serving the LGBTQIA+ community. While I provide medication management, I also highlight the importance of non-pharmacologic interventions including healthy lifestyle changes, mindfulness, and psychotherapy. Embarking on the path to mental health treatment can evoke feelings of apprehension, yet it's essential to recognize that the initial step is a testament to your courage and commitment to self-care. In seeking treatment, you're prioritizing your well-being. You're not alone on this journey – together, we'll navigate towards brighter days and a healthier you.

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

In our sessions, clients can expect a safe and confidential space where they can explore and discuss their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My goal is to foster a therapeutic alliance built on trust and empathy. Together, we will work to gain insights into the client's challenges, identify coping strategies, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

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

Empathy and Compassion: I genuinely care about my clients and strive to understand their experiences from their perspective. I approach therapy with empathy, compassion, and nonjudgment, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel valued and heard. Clinical Skills and Expertise: I have a solid foundation of clinical knowledge and expertise in evidence-based practices for treating various mental health concerns. My training and experience enable me to assess complex situations, formulate appropriate treatment plans, and implement effective interventions tailored to each client's needs.
