As a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner in Adult-Geriatric Acute Care and Psychiatric Mental Health (PMHNP), I have years of experience helping people with conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, Bipolar disorders, Insomnia, PTSD, psychosis and Schizophrenia. I'm skilled at assisting older adults facing challenges like dementia, mood changes, and sleep troubles.

I've found the QbTest to be an invaluable tool in my approach to treating ADHD. By offering objective data on attention and hyperactivity levels, it allows me to tailor treatments specifically to each patient's unique needs. As I monitor progress with the QbTest, I can fine-tune interventions, ensuring the best possible outcomes for those I work with.
