I am deeply committed to delivering holistic, patient-centered psychiatric care, with a strong focus on improving mental health outcomes and empowering individuals to achieve stability, resilience, and wellness. My experience and work in correctional and forensic settings have enhanced my adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and skills in managing complex psychiatric presentations. My wealth of clinical expertise, leadership, and a profound dedication to serving individuals with dignity and respect. My mission is to provide safe, effective, and empathetic care while advocating for mental health awareness and reduce stigmas.
I have worked in several inpatient and outpatient organizations assisting adults and teens with dual diagnosis of substance abuse and mental health. I have over 22 years experience working in different settings, with individuals of all ages, in different paths of life, different stages of mental health needs in both hands on and supervisory positions.
My passion for mental health and helping provide care to our underserved small communities has led me to become a PMHNP. I enjoy working with individuals in all stages of their mental health journey. I am dedicated to work with individuals that aspire to live the best life regardless of the circumstances. Desire to overcome and to help others.
