I am currently only taking child and adolescent medication-management patients. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who specializes in treating children and adolescents. I practice a family systems approach and understand the child’s/adolescent’s functioning within the unit of their family system. I think of the family system as its own unique biome with established patterns of behaviors, values, and ideas, and each of these themes are explored in our sessions.
While I do prescribe medication, and understand it can be a central part of treatment, I find that genuine growth comes from introspection and modifying behavior. My sessions are often a mix of medication management (less) and psychotherapy (more). Fundamentally, I believe that by maximizing therapy, we can reduce, and even eliminate the need for medication.
I also offer to work with schools in the form of corresponding with school counselors, teachers, and administrators, in formulating academic plans that are tailored to a student's specific learning needs.
