I believe we function at our highest capacity when there is balance in mental, psychological, physical, social as well as in spiritual health. Our initial appointment entails listening to your detailed history, talking about your current stressors, and working on your goals of treatment. Our follow up appointments will be aimed at reviewing progress and making needed adjustments until we find the best balance for you. I believe for best outcomes, application of both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy are all it takes. Let's start a better mental health journey together.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. My main areas of focus include symptoms and Medication management. I practice evidence-based, patient-centered care and always aim at providing best care possible. I have over 16years nursing experience and extensively in psychiatric nursing. I create a supportive and judgement free space for patients.
I am passionate about improving access to mental health care for all. My goal is to eradicate the stigma and bias associated with mental health by rendering compassionate, holistic and culturally competent care to my patients. This at the long run helps in living and maintaining an optimal quality of life.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
