After completing my Master’s as a Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion for mental health led me to further my education and become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). My training provided valuable experience in dual diagnosis patients, helping me understand the complex interplay between mental health and substance use. This allows me to partner with patients in finding comprehensive solutions. I follow trauma informed care guidance and have experience in managing depressive, anxious, manic, psychotic and substance use disorders.
With 17 years of practice, I have found that the best solutions come from understanding each individual’s unique circumstances. I am passionate about working with patients to discover coping skills, lifestyle changes, and medications that enhance well-being. Treatment plans must fit seamlessly into a patient’s lifestyle to be effective.
Having lived and worked outside the US, I bring a culturally inclusive approach to my practice, appreciating the richness of diverse languages and cultures. I have extensive training across the lifespan and particularly enjoy working with adults and seniors, striving to offer holistic and compassionate care to all my patients.
