How do you work with clients with depression?
For clients with depression, I focus on emotionally focused and humanistic care, ensuring clients feel heard, validated, and supported. I work collaboratively with them to explore the underlying causes of their depression and address any imbalances contributing to their emotional state. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and trauma-focused therapy, I help clients identify and reframe negative thoughts, set achievable goals, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. I also educate clients and their families on mental health awareness to reduce stigma and encourage a supportive environment. By providing both virtual and in-person options, I ensure consistent care that fits their needs.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing holistic psychiatric care using an integrative approach that is guided by compassion and empathy. My professional career has been dedicated to helping others. I have always had an interest in the brain and human behavior, earning degrees within psychology, special education, nursing, and psychiatric/mental health. With a diverse background spanning over two decades in public education and healthcare settings, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my practice. Before working in healthcare, I worked with adolescents in the public education setting for nearly two decades where I conduced psycho-educational evaluations for children with emotional and learning differences, created individualized education plans, and served as a fierce advocate for students with special needs. Motivated to expand my scope and deepen my impact, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing degree with a focus on psychiatric and mental health from Wilkes University. During my 2-year residency as an inpatient psychiatric nurse for adolescents and adults, I honed my clinical skills and developed a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health disorders.
