Hello, I am a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of diverse experience in the nursing field. With a strong foundation as a Registered Nurse (RN), I have worked across various settings, including psychiatric emergency care, medical-surgical units, telemetry, home health, community health, forensic units, and inpatient mental health. Currently, I serve as a nurse practitioner in a forensic unit, where I apply my extensive expertise to address complex psychiatric cases. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Walden University (August 2019 - May 2023). Prior to this, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Midwestern State University (January 2010 - December 2014). My broad clinical experience and advanced education enable me to provide comprehensive mental health care, with a particular focus on forensic psychiatric settings. My commitment to mental health and my extensive background in various nursing specialties underscore my dedication to improving patient outcomes through compassionate and informed care. I have had the privilege of working with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the best outcomes for patients. I am also passionate about mentoring junior staff and staying current with best practices in healthcare. Beyond my technical skills, I pride myself on my strong communication abilities, both with patients and their families. I believe that a comforting presence and clear communication are vital for patient care, especially during difficult times. Thank you for considering me as your healthcare provider. My goal is always to provide safe, compassionate, and effective care for all my patients. *Specialties •Psychiatry •Mental Health *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •PTSD •ADHD •Eating disorders •Addiction •Insomnia •Mood disorders •Substance abuse •Panic attacks •Personality disorders •Geriatric Psychiatry *Treatment approach •Emotionally Focused •Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) •Person-Focused •Culturally Sensitive •Trauma-Focused *Insurance •Aetna •Anthem •Cigna •Humana •Oscar Health •Blue Cross Blue Shield
