My Approach to Helping
I am a board-certified Psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I have 7 years of experience as a nurse Practitioner focusing on delivering high levels of care to individuals. As a PMHnP-BC Across the Lifespan, I received my education and training from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
I specialized in treating anxiety/generalized anxiety, panic attacks, depression, obsessive compulsion, insomnia, bipolar, eating issues, and posttraumatic stress with aged 15 - 90 years. After a comprehensive, thorough assessment, I will diagnose and make recommendations based on the patient's recovery care plan. My treatment goals involve educating patients and maximizing treatment benefits, with minimal side effects, along with psychotherapy.
The initial step is to assess the client's needs and develop a recovery plan. cognitive behavioral therapy is a common type of talk therapy that will be used during the session; it helps to identify ways to override and cope with specific challenges. Most of the patients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
