As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner, I am a skilled mental health specialist with years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in the medical field. My skill in medication management and prescribing comes from my experiences across different sectors of healthcare has significantly strengthened my interpersonal and empathic skills. My career in the mental health and medical field began in an entry-level nursing role, and I have progressively advanced throughout my career. This bottom-up experience has been invaluable, allowing me to collaborate with a wide range of healthcare professionals and gain  diverse experiences across various healthcare settings.  I am passionate about providing excellent patient care and have experience in conducting mental health assessments, diagnosing, and developing individualized treatment plans that includes prescribing and  monitoring medications.

I hold a Bachelors in Science in Nursing from the University of Maryland and a Masters of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I am also a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

As a knowledgeable practitioner and a good listener, I pride myself on my ability to connect with individuals. My goal is to always be approachable and provide optimism, ideas, and support as clients figure things out. My style involves asking clarifying questions to ensure effective two-way communication and using simple language by avoiding overly complex terminology. My desire to support others in navigating their life challenges influenced my desire to pursue a career in mental health.

Outside of helping clients, I love spending time with family and believe it is something that needs to be cherished. In my leisure time, I enjoy watching movies, traveling, and trying different cuisines. It is important as a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner to manage and maintain self-care to be fully present when helping clients.
