My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a mental healthcare provider has been shaped by a profound passion for understanding and supporting individuals in their mental health journeys.

My goals for you
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my approach to goal setting with patients is rooted in a collaborative and patient-centered process. I prioritize creating therapeutic goals that are not only realistic and measurable but also specifically tailored to the individual's unique needs and circumstances. I engage in active listening and empathetic understanding, conducting a comprehensive assessment of the patient's mental health history, current symptoms, and personal strengths. Together with the patient, we establish goals that encompass various aspects, including symptom management, coping strategy improvement, interpersonal relationship enhancement, and the promotion of self-care practices. The collaborative effort involves prioritizing goals and breaking them down into achievable steps. I regularly reassess and adjust these goals based on the patient's progress and evolving needs, ensuring a dynamic and adaptive approach to mental health care. My overarching goal is to empower patients to actively participate in their treatment journey, fostering meaningful improvements in their mental health and overall quality of life.
