I am a dedicated Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a strong educational background and clinical experience. I completed a one-year PMHNP residency at the Dallas VA Medical Center and hold both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Nursing from The University of Texas at Arlington. With six years as a registered nurse in an acute-care setting, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my patients.
I employ a holistic approach to mental health care, focusing on collaborating with patients to develop personalized treatment plans. I am committed to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues and emphasize thorough assessments during the initial intake appointments to ensure accurate diagnoses are made. Routine follow-up appointments are conducted to ensure that my patients' needs are continuously met.
I gather comprehensive patient histories and current concerns during the initial intake, followed by creating tailored interventions. Follow-up appointments are conducted to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as necessary. My treatment approach encompasses medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and sleep. My goal is to foster a supportive environment where patients feel cared for and empowered on their mental health journey.
