Professional Statement
I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with a Doctorate in Psychiatry. My training allows me to care for both the physical and mental health needs of my clients, with a focus on conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. Clients can expect a thoughtful, integrated approach that emphasizes evidence-based treatment and personalized care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients working with me can expect open communication, empathy, and a strong sense of partnership. I approach each session with cultural awareness, clinical insight, and a deep respect for your lived experience. I believe in empowering clients through education and shared decision-making, and I’m committed to creating a space that feels safe, welcoming, and judgment-free.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work begins with a comprehensive initial assessment to understand your mental, emotional, and physical health needs. From there, we’ll develop a collaborative treatment plan that may include medication management, brief psychotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, or referrals to additional services. Follow-up sessions are structured to monitor progress, support your goals, and adapt care as needed—always with your well-being at the center.
