Salutations! I am a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner in Texas. I obtained my Masters of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin, and have been practicing for the past 10 years. During this time I have worked at a large community clinic focusing on providing services to low income and homeless populations around the Austin area, as well as in a private practice setting. Although my early professional experience was primarily focused on medication management, my goal with Grow Therapy is to provide individualized treatment plans that focus on therapeutic elements first, and medications second.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Initial sessions usually take about an hour to complete. During our first visit, we will take time to become acquainted with each other, and explore current mental health symptoms and possible environmental factors that are causing challenges and/or distress. We will also have an in-depth examination of your history including your medical history, as well as any previous psychiatric history. Using this information, we will formulate a comprehensive treatment plan together for future visits.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My diverse professional experience has helped me develop a comprehensive approach that examines the impact of socioeconomic factors, family history, as well as your medical history to develop a collaborative treatment plan
