I am a doctoral prepared, licensed, and double board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner (DNP, FNP-C PMHNP-BC). I received my Doctor of Nursing Practice and Post Masters Certification in Psychiatric Mental Healthcare from Brandman University, Irvine California, Master of Science as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Walden University Minneapolis Minnesota, and Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information systems from the University of North Texas, Denton, Texas.
I have over 25 years of combined work experience and have acquired extensive background in telepsychiatry, impatient and outpatient mental health over the last 5 years. Mental health disorders addressed include but not limited to ADHD, Alcohol dependence, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Bipolar, Insomnia, Dementia and Weight loss.
