As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals across the lifespan. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, focusing on understanding each person’s unique experiences and needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and empowered to achieve their mental health goals.
I have experience working with a diverse range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and adjustment difficulties. My clinical background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, allowing me to offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy.
I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, integrating medication management with supportive psychotherapy and lifestyle interventions. My goal is to partner with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that promote resilience, recovery, and overall well-being.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
  • Culturally Sensitive
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Person-Centered
"
Motivational interviewing enhances motivation for change through empathetic, goal-oriented dialogue, addressing ambivalence. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies and restructures negative thought patterns and behaviors. Integrating these two modalities fosters engagement, supports self-efficacy, and promotes lasting behavioral change.
