I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I believe in the power of hope and the possibility of change. I choose to stand with those who are struggling, to offer knowledge, compassion, and skill. My journey is marked by the stories of those who have trusted me with their pain and triumph, and by the conviction that every individual deserves respect, dignity, and the chance to heal.
The decision to pursue this path was shaped by personal experience, academic exploration, and professional commitment (over 20 years of combined nursing)—but above all, by a God-given calling to serve.
I specialize in the following:
• Mood Disorders: Depression, Bipolar Disorder
• Anxiety Disorders: Generalized Anxiety, Panic, OCD
• Psychotic Disorders: Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, Delusional Disorder
• Intellectual Disability Disorders
• ADHD
• Conducting Mental Health Evaluations
• Diagnosing Psychiatric Conditions
• Risk Assessment: I evaluate clients for risk of self-harm, suicide, violence, or neglect.
• Holistic Care Planning
• Prescribing Medications
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Supportive Counseling
• Teaching Symptom Management
• Connecting Clients to Resources
• Prevention
