A breakthrough I have helped a client achieve that was particularly significant to me was when I was able to connect with an adolescent client who had been complaining about an ineffective treatment plan but felt unheard by the provider. After talking with the client for some time, I suspected they had been misdiagnosed and worked with the team to reassess them. The patient's diagnosis and plan were updated, and the patient was finally able to live independently.
The process will start with a psychiatric assessment. We will then review symptoms and develop a treatment plan. After that, we will schedule consistent follow ups to determine the effectiveness of treatment.
The first session typically involves building a therapeutic rapport and data collection. During this time, the focus is getting to know the client and collaborating on treatment plan and goals.
I am motivated to be a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner because I am deeply moved and passionate about helping others to be the best version of themselves. I find this work deeply fulfilling and I am honored that I get to partner with clients on their journey.

My sessions will also focus on helping clients gain insight into their symptoms, identify underlying patterns, and build effective coping strategies.

I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Psychotherapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy & Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are my ability to meet people where they are and being empathetic to their experiences. I strive to foster open communication to help patients feel empowered and supported.
