I am a passionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who will work collaboratively with you, the patient, to regain and maintain balance in your life. We will use current evidence-based practice and your feedback to gather information, diagnose, and implement the best plan that fits your need.
PMHNPs incorporate a comprehensive view of the nursing field within the therapeutic connection. Our approach encompasses the complete individual standing before us, considering the distinctive experiences and factors that have shaped you into who you are today rather than solely focusing on a collection of symptoms requiring alleviation. I use a start-low and go-slow approach to prescribing that aligns with current evidence-based principles.
