I have always been fascinated by psychology and learning about human behavior. My career started as a counselor working in skilled nursing facilities. There, I developed a strong desire to help clients by listening to them and providing guidance. Eventually, my desire to help others led me to a career in nursing. Now as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I am able to utilize a therapeutic approach to treatment that includes both medication management and talk therapy.
I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship with clients is essential to providing the best care. My practice focuses on listening to clients and allowing them to play an active role in the treatment process. Although medication management is important, I also believe that exercise, adequate sleep, and proper nutrition are essential towards managing stress and improving overall mood.
We will work together using a holistic perspective to build a personalized treatment plan. I try to create a treatment environment where clients are comfortable expressing their feelings and thoughts. Together we will build a treatment plan that will focus on achieving goals and personal empowerment.
