My background as an inpatient psychiatric nurse for over 10 years provided with me with the foundation for providing care to patients with a broad range of mental health disorders. My clinical experience, genuine passion for helping others, goal of treating mental health disorders, and providing support for those struggling with their mental health encouraged my professional goal of becoming a PMHNP.

In my role, I offer a client-centered and holistic approach in the treatment of mental health disorders across the lifespan. Through comprehensive psychiatric assessments, psychopharmacology, treatment planning, and advocacy, I work with the client in a shared decision-making approach to facilitate positive change. In my standard of practice, I provide a non-judgmental, therapeutic, and safe environment that allows the client to feel validated, encouraged, and supported. In addition to medication management, I also emphasize the importance of engaging in psychotherapy and implementing positive lifestyle changes.
