I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with dual certification as a family practice nurse practitioner and I also obtained my doctorate of nursing practice degree. I have practiced for several years in family practice and mental health services and strongly believe in the importance of mental healthcare. I am thrilled to be treating each person holistically and individually.
My approach
Therapeutically helping clients with the goals of developing insight into their emotions and behaviors during the course of their treatment. Earning the trust and mutual respect of those who suffer from the problems of stress, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and culture stress problems is very important to me.
My focus
I am comfortable diagnosing and treating patients struggling with depression, anxiety/panic, insomnia, PTSD, PMDD, Eating disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia.
My communication style
I am an advocate who fosters a warm, friendly, compassionate, and straightforward environment.
My first session with you
To ensure we have a productive first visit, please be sure to fill out your intake form in advance! During our first visit, we will complete a full mental health assessment and evaluation. There will be lots of questions during this visit, especially regarding your medical and mental health history. Working together to determine an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan is important for your mental health. This may require multiple appointments. Controlled medications may be available from my practice on a limited basis and rarely on the first session. All paperwork such as FMLA and related will only be considered after several sessions of treatment and as clinically indicated. Once we have completed your evaluation, we can then discuss a treatment plan specific to your needs that will get you on the road to feeling better as soon as possible!
