With over 13 years in mental health, my greatest strength lies in my ability to provide compassionate, patient-centered care across diverse settings. My experience in both inpatient units and private practice has given me a deep understanding of the varying needs across life stages.

Motivational Interviewing
My experience with motivational interviewing (MI) stems from my five years as a psychiatric nurse practitioner and over seven years as a registered nurse. I have found MI to be an effective tool in guiding patients through the process of change, particularly when they are ambivalent or resistant. In my practice, I utilize open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to help clients explore their feelings and motivations. This collaborative approach empowers patients to take ownership of their decisions, making the changes they choose more meaningful and sustainable. By focusing on empathy and supporting self-efficacy, I help clients build confidence in their ability to change, which often leads to long-term success
