I am Jamaican-born, dual-board-certified in Family practice and psychiatric mental health care. I got my FNP At Florida Atlantic University with honors and my PMHNP at Walden University. I currently work as a primary care/urgent care provider treating chronic conditions and common mental health disorders such as Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and ADHD. I also have 16 years in the emergency room environment.
Born and raised in Jamaica and dealing with mental health issues in my own family, my goal is to reduce the stigma that surrounds mental health illnesses. Therefore, my approach is to use an integrated multicultural holistic approach to treat mental health disorders, including psychotherapy, medication management, provider notes referral letters, and FMLA to improve your mental health and overall well-being
At each session, the patient should feel heard and cared for. They also should have a thorough understanding of the disease process and their treatment plan and goals. They will learn the skills and be given the tools for relaxation techniques to help reduce stress. How to find ways to be creative. Treating mental health is not about medications, it is incorporating a healthy lifestyle, along with medication management to overcome the disease to improve their mental health and overall well-being
