PMHNP, 8 years of experience
Hi! I’m a board certified nurse psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner. I received my masters from Walden University and my undergrad at the university of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I have 6 years of emergency nursing experience and 2 years specializing in psychiatry. I have experience with acute inpatient psychiatric disorders as well as outpatient therapy and medication management. I aim to help patients of all ages with various mental health concerns by utilizing a holistic approach to help achieve success in all areas of life.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into an in-depth psychosocial history, treatment history, and any specific challenges you're facing. Then we will discuss your individual treatment goals, what you would like to achieve. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan, which may include medication management and therapeutic interventions. We will discuss treatment options prior to our next follow up appointment.
Having worked with a wide variety of clients with various mental health challenges, I have been able to tailor treatment plans to each individual based on one’s needs and individual goals.
I love working with clients of all ages. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar, mood disorders, and ADHD.
