I am a compassionate and skilled Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a focus on providing holistic and integrative care. With extensive experience in managing addiction, substance abuse, mood and anxiety disorders. I am committed to addressing mental wellness through a comprehensive, patient-centered approach.

My practice is grounded in the belief that mental health care should be as unique as the individuals seeking it. Drawing on my experience of working with diverse populations, I bring a culturally sensitive, integrative approach to treatment, blending evidence-based practices with complementary therapies. Conversational in multiple languages, I am able to connect with patients from various cultural backgrounds, decreasing barriers to quality care.

At the heart of my approach is the commitment to truly understanding each client’s distinct needs and life experiences. I prioritize building trust and rapport through active listening, creating a safe space where clients feel supported, respected, and heard. I believe in giving patients the time they need to engage fully in their treatment journey, fostering a therapeutic relationship that empowers them to take an active role in their mental health.

When developing personalized treatment plans, I incorporate each client’s individual goals, preferences, and values, ensuring a holistic care model that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. I integrate traditional psychiatric interventions with complementary practices, such as mindfulness, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle modifications, to promote well-being on all levels.

As a PMHNP, I pride myself on my empathy, patience, and deep respect for the cultural and personal factors that shape each individual’s mental health. I am passionate about breaking down stigma, promoting inclusivity, and ensuring that every client has access to the care they deserve.

Committed to lifelong learning, I stay current with the latest advancements in psychiatric care and continually seek out innovative, holistic practices to enhance the care I provide. My goal is to offer comprehensive, compassionate treatment that helps clients achieve mental wellness, improve their quality of life, and thrive in their personal and professional endeavors.

I can help with a variety of family situations including non-paternal events and parental identity discovery, individuals trying to conceive, infertility, new moms navigating their motherhood journey, and those suffering PMADs. I also work with adolescents with school-related struggles and I have experience working with anxiety, ADHD, and grief.
 
I can help you to focus more on the here-and-now and build up your mindfulness strategies! I look forward to working with you and helping you manage life’s transitions and challenges!
