I am Doris, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing degree at Walden University in Minneapolis, MN. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 13 years in outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings. I am committed to providing holistic and culturally competent individualized care that embodies the client's developmental and bio-psycho-social histories in my treatment approach. I have experience working with individuals ages 5 to 65 and older adults struggling with depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and ADHD, eating disorders, trauma, behavior problems, and other co-occurring mental disorders. Owing to the abstract nature and presentation of mental health conditions, I believe the patient is integral to a successful treatment outcome and employ the patient-centered model in my evaluation and treatment recommendations.
