Summary
- 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, to include 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
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!
