I am a board-certified, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specializing in diagnosis, medication management, and therapy. Since graduating from Columbia School of Nursing in 2012, I have gained extensive experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of symptoms. Addressing mental health issues can be scary, especially for children and parents. I work with families to create a calming and trusting environment. Clients and families are encouraged to discuss their wants, needs, and fears, which in turn helps to destigmatize the process.
Trained in motivational interviewing, I incorporate many of the skills I acquired in my daily practice, including active listening, reflection, and meeting clients "where they are at." I conduct a thorough evaluation and use evidence-based practice in order to better target treatment options.
Once the evaluation is completed, I will review the pros and cons of each option and work together with the client to find the best possible course of action. My availability includes some evening and weekend appointments in order to accommodate work and school schedules. Unfortunately I cannot accept insurance at this time.
