My Approach to Helping
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. My interest in helping the medically underserved arose decades before COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). However, the pandemic was a large catalyst for my focus shift to the mentally disadvantaged population. My goal is to equitably provide and maintain a high quality of care as the premier community resource. Ensuring compassionate, empathetic, powerful, and competent mental health services is at the forefront of my priorities.
I am culturally diverse and believe in health equity. I strive to mitigate the stigma associated with mental health issues by advocating for our patients. My mental health services are delivered with care, compassion, respect, autonomy, and integrity. I utilize practices spanning psychotherapy, medication management, counseling, and other evidence-based methods to ensure the highest possible quality of mental health delivery and care.
