What should a new client know about working with you?
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that the best outcomes come from building a trusting, collaborative relationship with each patient. My goal is to provide a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns and asking questions.
I take the time to understand your unique experiences, symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals before developing a personalized care plan. Whether you're seeking help for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health condition, you'll receive evidence-based treatment tailored to your individual needs.
During our visits, you'll never feel rushed. I value open communication, patient education, and shared decision-making, so you'll always understand your diagnosis, treatment options, and medication plan. Together, we'll monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to help you achieve lasting improvements in your mental health and overall quality of life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to gain a clear understanding of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. This allows us to identify an accurate diagnosis and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Treatment may include medication management, education about your condition, and practical strategies to support your mental health. I believe in shared decision-making, so we'll discuss the benefits and potential risks of treatment options and make decisions together based on your preferences and goals.
Follow-up appointments focus on monitoring your progress, evaluating how well your treatment is working, managing any side effects, and making adjustments as needed. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout your mental health journey.

- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
