Hey there! I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I'm all about providing compassionate and patient-centered care. With years of experience in telepsychiatry and acute inpatient care, I've helped teens, adults, and seniors. My goal is to make mental health care easy and effective for everyone.
I love using telehealth to connect with patients, offering thorough assessments and customized treatment plans. I focus on building trust and strong relationships, even through virtual sessions. I also collaborate closely with various healthcare teams to ensure comprehensive care.
Before diving into telepsychiatry, I worked in inpatient psychiatric facilities and emergency nursing. I have a knack for assessing symptoms, giving sound medical advice, and coordinating with other healthcare pros.
I earned my Master’s in nursing from Nova Southeastern University and am committed to ongoing education to stay updated with the latest in mental health care. I believe in effective and empathetic communication, always aiming to support my patients on their journey to better mental health.

I prioritize building strong, trusting relationships with my patients, even through virtual sessions, to ensure they feel supported and understood. With years of experience in telepsychiatry, acute inpatient care, and emergency nursing, I bring a broad understanding of mental health care, treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and more.

How do you work with clients with bipolar disorder?
I work with clients with bipolar disorder by offering personalized treatment plans that combine psychotherapy and medication management. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help manage mood shifts and develop coping strategies. Medication management is also key, and I work to find the right balance for mood stabilization. Through telehealth, I provide ongoing support and education to help clients achieve mood stability and improve their overall well-being.
How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I help clients with anxiety by providing personalized care through a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to explore emotional triggers. I prioritize building trust, offering a safe and supportive environment where clients can express their concerns. Through telehealth, I make care accessible and aim to help clients reduce anxiety, boost self-esteem, and improve their emotional well-being.
How can you provide care remotely?
I provide care remotely through telehealth, which allows me to connect with patients virtually. This approach enables me to conduct thorough psychiatric assessments, offer customized treatment plans, and manage psychotherapy and medication, all through virtual sessions. Even in a remote setting, I focus on building trust and strong relationships with my patients, ensuring that they feel supported and engaged in their care. Telehealth also allows me to collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
