Your journey to emotional wellness begins here
Sometimes life can become very overwhelming. We were not intended to go through this journey alone. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I'm here to help. I am trained to provide psychiatric care through Psychotherapy and Psychopharmacology across the lifespan. Although I treat all mental health conditions, I have a passion for working with vulnerable populations, specializing in mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and addiction. I utilize a person-centered approach using evidence based interventions. Person-centered care suggests that YOU are the expert on YOU, and although you may be experiencing some emotional struggles, as we all do at times, this does not diminish your valuable self knowledge and personal insights. I will respectfully collaborate with you toward your personal goals. I care deeply for those whom I serve and have a wealth of personal and professional experience to enhance my practice, but even more than this, I am a genuine human who believes that the greatest gain in our interaction will occur during vulnerable moments in the therapeutic relationship. I consider it a privilege to help others on their journey to emotional wellness.
The primary focus of my practice is medication management for the treatment of mental health conditions, but psychotherapeutic interventions are utilized throughout appointments, as medication alone is rarely sufficient to achieve desired outcomes. I utilize psychotherapy approaches appropriate to the individual, often with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Supportive Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to lessen symptoms and improve emotional well being.
