I am a dual-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with over 25 years of experience in healthcare. I believe in meeting clients where they are by creating a trusting environment for open communication. Using solution-focused interventions, I empower my patients to accept their current situations and facilitate positive changes to enhance their overall mental well-being.
I find it important to balance medication management with psychotherapy. I strongly encourage patient to pursue psychotherapy. I emphasized that medications are only a piece of the puzzle in regard to the patient reaching their potential for optimal mental health and psychosocial quality of life. I actively play a role in their treatment.
Patients can expect a warm and caring experience at each encounter. My mission is to empower my patients to address whatever challenges that they may face. My goal is for the patient to leave each encounter better than they came.
