Welcome! I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in medication management and supportive therapy. My practice upholds the importance of mindfulness, staying fully present and engaged at the moment without judgment. This commitment to mindfulness allows me to assess and address each patient's needs attentively, considering every aspect of their unique mental health journey. We value peace in my practice, not just as an end goal but also as an essential component of our therapeutic environment. Creating a peaceful, non-judgmental space for individuals from all walks of life encourages open dialogue and improves mental health outcomes. I am passionate about the principle of 'one step at a time,' especially when adapting to medication management. This approach ensures that changes to your medication regime are made gradually and thoughtfully, providing ample opportunity for you to adjust and for us to monitor your progress closely. Embracing diversity and respecting each patient's privacy and time are integral parts of my practice, and I aim to foster trust through these values. My dedication is not merely to the clock but to you as an individual and to enhancing the overall quality of your mental health by tailoring treatment plans to your unique needs. Witnessing my clients' improvements fuels my passion for mental health, propelling a patient-centric approach during sessions. I see my work as a calling and find immense inspiration in helping clients lead healthier, happier lives. Thank you for considering me as your mental health partner. Let's embark on this journey towards mental well-being, taking one mindful, peaceful step at a time.

From our sessions, clients can anticipate an enhanced understanding of their mental health, strategies to manage and overcome challenges, and consistent support on their journey to improved quality of life.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

As a PMHNP-BC, I utilize a combination of medication management and supportive therapy as my primary treatment methods.

This perspective allows for comprehensive care plans that not only address immediate concerns but also contribute to overall mental health improvement. I also ensure a safe and confidential space, fostering therapeutic relationships that encourage open dialogue and mutual trust. These tools and methods are instrumental in promoting positive mental health outcomes and helping my clients live healthier, happier lives.
