I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of experience in the medical field. My journey began as a psychiatric registered nurse, and I later earned my Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Psychiatric Mental Health from Walden University. These experiences have shaped my understanding of mental health care and given me the tools to provide thoughtful, individualized treatment for my patients.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults, because I believe mental health challenges can affect anyone, no matter their age. My approach centers on truly listening to each patient, conducting thorough assessments, and collaborating closely to develop care plans that meet their unique needs. I value holistic care and often work alongside other healthcare providers to ensure my patients receive comprehensive support.
I specialize in medication management for conditions like depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD. My goal is always to provide compassionate, personalized care, helping patients feel understood and supported as they work toward improved mental health. It’s a privilege to walk alongside my patients on their journey to wellness, and I’m here to offer expertise, empathy, and encouragement every step of the way.
