With 24 years of experience in clinical settings, I have honed my skills in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. I am dedicated to creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment for my patients, fostering open communication and trust. Additionally, I have a strong background in family medicine, allowing me to provide holistic care that considers both the individual and their family dynamics. My career as an advanced practice provider started first as a family nurse practitioner which led to my pursuit of additional education and training as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
