Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

I am a provider at our Salem clinic who offers psychiatric services!

My ideal patient is someone who is willing to seek help and treatment for their mental health issues. I am passionate about treating patients struggling with mood and anxiety related disorders, psychosis, PTSD, ADHD and substance abuse. I understand that each individual is unique and one patient’s treatment may vary from another. My goal is to work in collaboration with each patient to achieve realistic outcomes that will improve both their mental health and overall well- being.

My plan is to use a holistic approach with the most up to date evidence-based practice that allows my patients to receive the quality care they deserve. I understand it can often be difficult in opening up and acknowledging the need to seek help. I plan to offer a safe-space for my patients that is judgment free and allows them to open up so I can treat them effectively. I believe it is important in establishing a therapeutic relationship with my patients and providing them with practical tools and resources they can use to improve their mental health and achieve their goals.

I have experience working in both the inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings with patients of all ages, diverse populations and a wide range of psychiatric diagnoses and symptoms. My conservative approach will be tailored to each individual with the goal to achieve a simplified regimen that minimizes risk and focuses on both psychosocial interventions and medication management.
