Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Blessing, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 8 years of experience in mental health. I have experience working in various areas of psychiatry, including inpatient, outpatient and residential treatment. My areas of expertise are mood disorders, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, sleep issue and co-occurrings. I provide complete psychiatric evaluations, including diagnoses , a goal-oriented treatment plan and medication management

A bit about my approach to therapy

Patients often describe my approach as non-judgmental, gentle and caring, with encouragement to challenge you to grow. For those who desire faith-based therapy, I incorporate Christian values into our visits, including prayer and biblical truths. Although patients may have severe symptoms and interpersonal issues, I believe we are resilient and capable. I take an approach that focuses on your strengths and resources rather than your weaknesses or difficulties.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to help you achieve balanced mental health and function at your best. I will work with you to develop a clear and practical plan tailored to your needs. I will meet you wherever you are in your healing process, with the focus to support you in finding hope and strength in yourself again.
