Great to meet you! As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner , I believe prioritizing mental health is key to leading and happy and fulfilling life. I understand that the first step to addressing ones mental healthcare is to seek help, so congratulations on taking that incredibly important step! I've have roughly 13 years of experience in nursing across many fields and have found my niche in psychiatry. A bit about my approach to therapy I usually try to gather as much information from patients medical/mental health history and possibly order lab work and testing to find the best course of action. These options will be made available to patients so that, together, we can come up with a plan that will address their mental health goals that were mentioned in their initial consult. What you can expect from our first session I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
