Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am delighted to meet you! I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I have over 7 years' experience in mental health. I now focus on anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction disorders, autism, developmental disorders, ADHD, personality disorders, eating disorders, Alzheimer's and dementia. Your mind is the powerhouse of your body. Your mood, and thinking patterns greatly impact your health. Congratulations on taking the first step towards taking charge of your powerhouse!

My approach to therapy

I believe in holistic approach to mental health treatment. I treat you as a whole person and therefore I consider your overall well-being. This includes not only your mental but also physical, emotional, social and spiritual health. I am also solution oriented and aim at finding the root cause and assist you by dealing with that root cause. I also educate you on the condition and the process which helps you in better understanding your symptoms and treatment plan.

What you can expect from me

We will start by introducing ourselves and getting to know each other and establish rapport. I will actively listen to your needs, concerns and expectations from the visit. I will endeavor to create a warm, empathetic and comfortable environment. This will allow you to feel safe, feel free to express yourself and also be vulnerable. We will work together to ensure treatment goals are met. And that you are well educated on disease process, symptoms, causes and medication regimen and management.
