Hi, I’m Doris. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I offer genuine care to all people I serve. I know that finding the courage to share your difficulties might not be easy at first but I create an environment where you can find comfort and confide in me. I work with both children and adults from the age of 5–65. The healing process begins when you allow me to understand your complete story. This can include your experiences, life challenges and strengths.
My career has brought me to work with patients across inpatient hospitals, residential, and outpatient settings. My clinical expertise extends to supporting patients dealing with depression, anxiety, neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Autism, conduct disorders), eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, bipolar and psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders.
Even in your darkest moments, I assure you that positive change remains possible. It's about you and what makes you feel protected and supported. I’m here to meet you where you are and provide the support you’ve been looking for.

I work with clients facing mental health, behavioral, or relationship problems. The initial session is set to establish a treatment alliance, learn about the challenges, identify treatment options, and create a you-centered treatment plan. Support by evidence, most of my clients see a gradual but consistent improvement within the first week or two that is sustained thereafter.

I am a solution-oriented individual, and I lean on the combination of motivational interviewing and solution-focused modalities to guide others in finding the answers to various problems and challenges. Psychoeducation and coaching are useful during treatment planning and identifying tools to excel at executing daily living functions.
