I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), licensed, and Board Certified, in Psychiatry/Mental Health as a Clinical Nurse Specialist. My Philosophy is "Let all you do be done with love." If a client for instance, has depression and anxiety, we will discuss how it affects their life. Talk about what triggers make it worse, and how they handle the symptoms. For compliance, we collaborate on the best plan of care. I present the options for medications, benefits, alternatives, side effects, and encourage therapy as a great combination with the medication. The ultimate goal is to return the client to be healthy, happy and enjoy life again.
I have over 20 years of work experience in the field of Psychiatry/Mental Health. In those many years, I have acquired substantial knowledge and skills in my area of expertise. I offer comfort, acceptance, assessment of disorder, collaboration with patient to make the best decision based on offering options for medication, and encourage Individual therapy.
My goal is to creat a safe place, and offer a balanced perspective to support you in making informed decisions about your care. My style has been described as collaborative, direct, and non-judgemental. I enjoy working with a diverse group of people and issues. I believe that like snowflakes, no two people are alike, so treatment should be individualized.
