Over the last two decades, Marcia has serviced a multitude of health care environments as a registered nurse in administrative and clinical roles. When caring for clients as a registered nurse, Marcia recognized a common theme that correlates frame of mind with physical health and overall wellness. With this awareness, she pursued and attained board certification as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Across the Lifespan. She embraces the notion that at the core of each human is a distinct need to thrive in a steady state of wellness in mind, body, and soul.
Marcia provides therapeutic encounters enriched by a non-judgmental environment and open dialogue. This approach is used as a building block to reinforce individual resilience and resourcefulness. Marcia acknowledges and respects diverse cultures, lifestyles, ethnicities, abilities, and experiences that contribute to a client’s psyche.
She is equipped to treat neurodevelopmental, behavioral, emotional, psychosocial, and other psychosis-related mental health challenges. Her ultimate goal is to honor and support each client’s uniqueness by committing to collaborative, client-focused treatment plans and adapting holistic care tactics to meet their mental health needs.
