I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who utilizes theoretical, scientific, and clinical knowledge for diagnosing mental illnesses, interpreting data, and facilitating treatment planning, including prescribing medication when needed. I use evidence-based practice using a holistic approach to provide healing, wellness, and recovery through innovative, person-centered, and individualized care. The therapeutic services I offer provide a warm, non-biased, and nurturing environment for individuals and families to achieve optimal mental health. MIND-BODY-SOUL
I strive to ensure a planning process that maximizes and maintains each patient's mental, physical, psycho-social, spiritual and functional status at an optimal level. As a female provider, I focus on women's life span health from adolescents to post-partum and into menopause.
Having personally struggled with post-partum depression and anxiety, I can empathize with my patients. I truly care about my patients and want to make a positive difference in their lives. I carry no shame with my personal struggles and am here to help you get through yours. This is what sets me apart. We are in this together!
