Hello, my name is Andrew, and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for providing compassionate, patient-centered care. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, panic disorder, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and more.

This diverse background informs my holistic approach to helping patients achieve balance and well-being.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my friendly, down-to-earth demeanor and my ability to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment. Patients often describe me as approachable, easy to talk to, and direct, which helps foster trust and open communication. I am deeply committed to providing evidence-based care, with a strong focus on medication management as part of a holistic, patient-centered approach. My ability to combine professionalism with relatability allows me to connect with patients on a personal level while empowering them to take an active role in their treatment. Whether helping patients navigate complex symptoms or achieve long-term goals, I strive to create a supportive, collaborative partnership that inspires healing and well-being.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals in achieving their mental health goals. In my practice, I integrate CBT techniques to help patients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical skills for managing challenges in their daily lives. My approach is tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring that therapy remains patient-centered and evidence-based. Whether addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or ADHD, I focus on empowering patients with tools to foster resilience, emotional regulation, and long-term growth.

Motivational Interviewing

I incorporate Motivational Interviewing (MI) into my practice as a collaborative and patient-centered approach to facilitate meaningful change. My experience with MI includes helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence, clarify their goals, and enhance their motivation to pursue positive lifestyle changes. By fostering an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment, I guide patients in identifying their values, strengths, and aspirations, empowering them to take ownership of their decisions and progress. This method is particularly effective in supporting patients managing behavioral changes or navigating complex emotions related to their mental health.
