As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with five years of experience treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, my ideal client is someone who is navigating the complexities of mental health challenges, such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, or trauma-related issues. These individuals often feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggle with daily functioning, and may experience a sense of hopelessness or isolation. They need not only clinical expertise but also empathy, support, and a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Life has been really tough recently for most. I recently chatted with numerous people who are feeling anxious or down. Most people I speak with wait a long time before starting treatment. Why continue to wait? Would you like to have a better relationship with anxiety? Are your nervous or self-critical thoughts bringing you down? Are you prepared to try something new? I use a compassionate and empathetic approach to evidence-based interventions such as CBT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Many patients come to me after not seeing results from previous providers or, worse, experiencing harmful care. They are drawn to my approach, which combines biological and functional psychiatry. I take the time to thoroughly explain their symptoms, treatment options, and the risks, benefits, and alternatives—often hearing that I provide more clarity than any provider they’ve seen before. I pride myself on thinking outside the box, focusing on uncovering the root causes of issues through a holistic approach rather than simply prescribing powerful psychotropic medications based on trial and error, which is far too common.

I take great pride in being present and available as a gay provider for Florida LGBTQIA+ persons for psychiatric medication management and to offer referral services for therapy. As a Nurse Practitioner, I am trained and certified in both adult primary care and psychiatry and have dedicated the last several years of my practice to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community working in sexual health (HIV, PrEP, Hepatitis, STD care). Through this work, I realized that there are many barriers when trying to connect patients with a mental healthcare provider.

Eating Disorders Psychiatrists

What happens in therapy for eating disorders?

In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.

What therapy types help with eating disorders?

Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.

What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?

The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.

What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?

Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.

How long does therapy last for eating disorders?

Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
