I have been a Nurse Practitioner since 2016, beginning my career in cardiology before transitioning into addiction medicine. During my work in addiction treatment, I recognized that many individuals struggling with substance use were also facing underlying challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. This realization inspired me to further my education and pursue certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
