Hi there! I have been a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for seven years and a Registered Nurse for twenty-five years. I enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places. I love to travel when I have the free time. Nature is also an important part of my world, therefore I support and volunteer as much as possible to promote a better place for animals and us humans that live in their world. I do need to inform anyone seeking benzodiazepines that I do prescribe those.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session/interview I will be asking an array of questions to get to know you better and enable to address the correct mental health diagnoses. I will also allow time for you to get to know me a little better, whereas; the provider/client relationship connection and trust is important for the treatment to be effective. Review past mental health treatment and medications attempted.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
The therapeutic approach focuses on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. I like to use the Strengths-based therapy approach to psychotherapy treatment based in positive psychology. It focuses on a person's existing resources, resilience, and positive qualities, then uses these abilities to improve their quality of life and reduce problematic symptoms. This can be accomplished by helping the patient focus on their abilities rather than deficits. Positive thinking helps encourage patients to want to live in a more positive life and surround themselves with positive others.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Are you feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts or a sense of being 'stuck' ? Utilizing evidence-based interventions for mood disorders"; instead, try "using proven tools to help you regain control over your emotions". Do you feel like you're constantly fighting an uphill battle with anxiety or depression? My approach is collaborative and holistic. As a board-certified psychiatrist, I offer thoughtful medication management alongside person therapy style, e.g., CBT or mindfulness] to ensure we are treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis. I will be devoted to helping you find peace and direction in your future. I use a combination ofCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for actionable change, Psychodynamic for unconscious patterns, Humanistic for self-actualization, and Behavioral therapies for habit modification to help you achieve your goals.

My treatment methods
Compassion Focused
It is suggested that the focus of therapy should be on investigation of previously attempted solutions to a problem to identify what is maintaining it, constructing clear concrete goals to define the change to be achieved, and finally formulating and implementing a plan to achieve such change. they described their belief that effective change can be brought about by enacting change in the present, without a need to necessarily understand “why” or the cause of a problem. There is usually homework involved where as the client is able to complete on their schedule and bring to the next session for clarification and growth.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a type of talk therapy that mental health professionals may use to help manage major depressive disorder. Together, you and your therapist will explore how your relationships affect your mood and vice versa. both collaborative treatment and the pharmaceutical approach to everyday issues, results in positive changes.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
