I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with dual certification as an adult/gerontology primary care NP and I also obtained my doctorate of nursing practice degree. I have over 14 years of nursing experience and my goal is to provide compassionate, holistic care to help clients achieve optimal wellness. My approach In addition to psychopharmacotherapy, I utilize the following theoretical approaches: Behaviorism, Cognitive, and Humanistic. Each client encounter is unique, requiring awareness, sensitivity, and unconditional acceptance of that person and their needs. The CARE Approach is a framework I have always practiced, which emphasizes empathy, is patient-centered, and encourages effective communication and self-reflection. My focus I am comfortable treating all conditions including depression, anxiety, insomnia, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, binge-eating disorder, and weight management. My communication style My objective is to create an environment where my clients feel safe and at ease sharing their personal concerns with me. It is important that my clients know that they have my undivided attention, know that I am genuinely concerned about their well-being and that I am invested in ensuring a positive outcome. My first session with you To ensure we have a productive first visit, please be sure to fill out your intake form in advance!
