Work HistoryAs a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based integrative psychiatric care to individuals grappling with mental health challenges. With over a decade of professional experience, I am passionate about promoting mental wellness and empowering her patients to reach their fullest potential. I approach psychiatric care with a strong focus on collaboration, empathy, and respect for each person’s unique path. By conducting thorough assessments, crafting personalized treatment plans, and thoughtfully employing both medication and complimentary interventions, I provide comprehensive psychiatric support to help patients navigate difficult times and build resilience. Beyond my clinical practice, I am a dedicated advocate for mental health, striving to increase access to care and raise awareness. I have spent a significant portion of my career delivering quality healthcare to underserved communities and vulnerable populations. A staunch believer in reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness, I works tirelessly to improve access to comprehensive mental healthcare for all. As a Certified Correctional Healthcare Provider (CCHP) and geropsychiatric consultant, I have focused my professional career on educating and advocating for better understanding of the complex bio-psycho-social factors that lead to neuropsychiatric symptoms and behaviors, aiming to diminish stigma and promote compassionate care for all. I am honored to be part of my patients' healing journeys.
