Hi, I completed my doctor of nursing practice degree (DNP) and I am also a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner based in Phoenix, Arizona. For the past 10 years I have been working with patients across life span but most especially with children, adolescents and adults in clinical settings. I have clinical experience working with patients with ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Mood Disorders (including Major depression and Bipolar Disorder).

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

The first session is called the initial evaluation. During this session, patients will be asked questions about their mental health history and also about what is currently going on in their life. Answers to these questions will help guide in the diagnosing and treatment of the disorder.

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

My approach to treatment is holistic, taking into consideration the individual biological (medical and genetic factors), family support, cultural issues, psychological and many other social factors that may impact the overall functioning of the patient or adversely influence their disease process and adherence to treatment.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have experience working with patients of all ages with ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders (including Major depression and Bipolar Disorder), Autism Spectrum Disorder and Eating Disorders.
