I have a Nursing Doctorate, an MSN in Psychiatric Nursing and BA in Latin American Studies. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and certified in perinatal mental health. I believe in treating the whole person, not just prescribing medication. I work with nutrition, movement, sleep, time in nature, intentional socialization. I use supportive therapy with medication visits. I truly love what I do.
I provide a careful and thorough psychiatric assessment. We talk about your goals and preferences and together we work out a treatment plan that will give you back your life and your joy. You are welcome and safe.
The first session, or maybe the first two sessions, will consist of a lot of questions and listening by me. There is preliminary paperwork which has a lot of screening questionnaires that help to focus the first interview. You will feel heard and seen. I will not ask the details of any trauma that you may have experienced, only whether or not it happened and what your symptoms are in the present.
