As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, the most important aspect of care is mindful listening while hearing personal stories of feelings, thoughts and experiences.

A first psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive, collaborative session which involves a clinical interview to discuss your history and current challenges. The goal is to establish a diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan.
