About me:
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I specialize in psychopharmacology and brief supportive therapy. I have been in healthcare for over 15 years and have worked with various populations with diverse backgrounds including client’s suffering with depression, anxiety, bipolar, antenatal depression, postpartum depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, as well as other mental health conditions. My goal is to help clients achieve maximum symptom reduction with the lowest effective medication doses to minimized side effects. I offered individualized, holistic approach to client care, guided by empathy and respect. I look forward to working together to achieve your mental wellness goals in a safe and caring environment, while using evidence-based medication approach to help maintain your inner balance using your strengths to move towards the quality of life you desire and deserve.
My career in healthcare started 15+ years ago, I attended Barry University for my undergraduate training and later obtained a Master in Nursing Science from Frontier University with specialization is Midwifery and all aspects of women’s health. Over the years I found myself incorporating mental wellness along with management of physical symptoms, it became so much part of my practice that I decided to go back to school and specialized in mental health. I obtained a Post Master Certificate in mental health and became a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Some of my personal interest include supporting organizations that are making a difference and improving the quality of life to families who lack the resources to live a dignified life and have hope for a better tomorrow. I’m a proud supporter of Kiva. org a non-profit organization whose mission is “to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive. I also support midwives for Haiti and Doctor without borders. One of my long-term goals is to open a non-for-profit organization to widen access to mental health care services for minorities and underserve populations. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading and spending time with my children and our cat.
