WHY ME?
EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL
I have been licensed as a psychiatric nurse practitioner for over 10 years, with extensive experience in a variety of settings, including community mental health, corrections, and private practice. For the past eight years, I have successfully run my own private practice, providing high-quality care to individuals in need. It is truly a privilege to serve the community and support individuals on their journey to improved mental health and well-being. My diverse background equips me to understand and address the unique challenges each patient faces, ensuring personalized and effective care.
PERSONALIZED CARE
I believe in a collaborative approach to care, where your preferences and goals are central to the treatment process. Together, we will explore medication options that align with your needs, discussing the potential benefits and risks of each. Once a plan is in place, I will closely monitor your response to treatment, ensuring that adjustments are made as needed to optimize symptom management. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in your quality of life through ongoing support and care tailored specifically to you.
COMPASSIONATE APPROACH
I understand that deciding whether to take medication can be a difficult and deeply personal decision. My approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and respected. Medication is here to assist in managing symptoms, and I am well-versed in selecting the right options while remaining conservative in my prescribing practices. My goal is to provide care that not only addresses your symptoms but also honors your individual experiences and fosters trust throughout your journey to wellness.
Collaborative Partnership
Your voice matters. Together, we’ll build a treatment plan that reflects your values and goals.
