I began my career as a registered nurse, gaining extensive experience in various healthcare settings, with a primary focus on psychiatric and behavioral health. I pursued and completed a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. This advanced education equipped me with comprehensive skills for assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions, allowing me to offer holistic, patient-centered care through my own Telehealth clinic.
My approach to care is deeply influenced by my core values of compassion, integrity, and professionalism. I treat each patient with dignity and respect, reflected in how I conduct assessments and develop treatment plans. My commitment to integrity means that I practice ethically and maintain confidentiality, building trust with my patients. These values guide me to provide care that not only addresses mental health symptoms but also supports the overall well-being of my patients.
I employ an initial psychiatric evaluation tailored to each patient's unique needs. This process involves collecting identification information, understanding the chief complaint in the patient's own words, exploring the history of present illness, and reviewing past medical and psychiatric treatments. Additionally, I conduct a full mental status examination during the first visit to assess the patient's current psychological state and determine the most beneficial treatment approach.
