Hi! I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I graduated with FNP from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in 2016. I practiced in a rural health family practice clinic for 5 years before returning to school to get my PMHNP to provide better care for my clients. I help children and adults ages 5 and up overcome life's challenges and achieve mental well-being.
Working with a variety of clients in both Family and Mental Health, I have developed the ability to build a solid relationship with my client with healthy boundaries. I practice active listening and believe the client and their wishes are always the center of the appointment. I believe in empowering each client to take the lead in the mental health journey.
During our first session, we will start with introductions, review what symptoms caused you to reach out for treatment, and discuss other symptoms that you have faced or are experiencing. We look at family and medical history to help develop a diagnosis and a custom plan to include treatment and a follow-up regimen. The first appointment will be up to one hour in length. During follow-up appointments, we will discuss any side effects and your response to treatment. Follow-up sessions will be 20 minutes in length.
