Hello!
Thank you for your interest in my services, I look forward to being able to help you navigate your overall health concerns. Prior to becoming a board certified nurse practitioner, I have been a nurse for more than 20 years in both intensive and critical care settings, and I believe it's necessary to find a provider with prior nursing experience.
My approach to care is individualized to each patient and tailored to provide you with the best results possible in a timely manner. Since I have a strong medical background, I feel I’m very knowledgeable in ruling out medical conditions that mimic psychiatric symptoms or recognizing ones that coexist with psychiatric disorders. I do believe that the mind and body should not be separated, and I like to teach this from my first meeting with each potential patient.
I like to place a strong emphasis on the necessity of building a mutual therapeutic rapport initially. This is a step that takes time, trust and patience, and I’m willing to give that necessary time to accomplish this. Think of your initial visit with me like we’re both interviewing each other to see if I am the right provider to help you meet your overall goals in physical and mental wellness.
