Most psychiatric patients come into the office with mental health problems and require a professional to listen to their issues and assist them in meeting their needs. I first listen attentively to the patient to understand the reasons for their concerns. Then, I perform an Initial Psychiatric Evaluation based on the patient's information. After this assessment, I create an individualized treatment plan and set goals based on the patient's needs, with their input. I believe in collaborating with my patients. I bring over 25 years of nursing experience in acute and chronic psychiatric care for adolescents and adults.
I am a compassionate and active listener when patients express their thoughts and feelings, always ready to offer an empathetic ear to their problems. I often reflect on my concerns about the patient, taking into account diversity, culture, and ethnicity. I enjoy giving my patients positive feedback. I am treating patients telehealth in both AZ and Texas.
As a Doctor of Nursing, I offer evidence-based care considering each patient's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. My commitment lies in lifelong learning, patient advocacy, and educating individuals. By promoting collaboration within healthcare teams, I aim to provide the highest quality of care. My vision is to inspire hope, foster trust, and treat

I evaluate medication management and how you felt after being on your initial medication for two weeks. If necessary, I may adjust your medication. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Relaxation Interventions, and Breathing Techniques in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide on the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
