I’ve lived most of my life in dedication to others. I was a teacher before I was a Nurse Practitioner and I have always had a passion for helping others overcome difficult aspects of life. I strive to be open, welcoming and dedicated to the mental well being of my clients.
My approach to providing mental health care is rooted in compassion, evidence based practice, and respect for the individuality of each person seeking treatment. I view mental health as an integral part of overall well-being, shaped by biological, psychological, social and environmental factors. Therefore, treatment is holistic, person-cantered, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, experiences, and goals.
At the start of a first session I would start by getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and beginning to build a trusting relationship. Many people feel nervous before their first appointment, which is completely normal. The goal of the initial session is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can openly share your experiences at your own pace.
