I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with over 10 years of healthcare experience, including 10 years as a Registered Nurse and 4 years as a Nurse Practitioner. My background includes acute care, primary care, long-term care, assisted living, and home health settings, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the connection between physical and mental health.
My approach to care is patient-centered, collaborative, and holistic. I believe effective mental health treatment involves understanding the whole person, including their emotional, physical, social, and environmental factors. I take time to listen carefully, understand each patient’s unique experiences, and develop individualized treatment plans that align with their goals and values.
I utilize evidence-based practices, medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive therapeutic techniques to help patients manage symptoms and improve overall well-being. I believe in shared decision-making and work closely with patients to ensure they feel informed, supported, and involved throughout the treatment process.
