About

About me
Hello, I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with a certification in Psychiatry and Mental Health. I have been a nurse practitioner for 12 years and take pride in helping my patients to achieve their optimal health both mentally and physically. I have a passion for helping adults manage anxiety and depression through pharmacological interventions as well as psychotherapy. I understand the stressors that many adults have and I approach each client with empathy.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in anxiety and depression, my approach to care is patient-centered and holistic. I believe in creating a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. I collaborate closely with my clients, focusing on their unique needs and preferences, while utilizing evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and medication management when appropriate. My goal is to empower individuals to take an active role in their healing, fostering resilience and long-term mental well-being through personalized care plans that address both the symptoms and root causes of their distress.
 
Treatment philosophy
As a compassionate healthcare provider, my treatment philosophy centers around patient empowerment and holistic care. I believe in creating a supportive environment where patients feel valued and understood. Engaging with patients actively, I prioritize clear communication to ensure they are involved in their health journey. My specialties in family practice and mental health allow me to address physical and emotional wellness effectively. I focus on preventive care and chronic illness management, tailoring treatment plans to each individual. My goal is to foster trust and collaboration, helping patients achieve their best health outcomes in a respectful and caring manner.
