I'm all about giving you the kind of mental health care that feels like it's made just for you and your loved ones. My mission? To be there for everyone who needs help, especially those in tough spots like shelters or with limited means. My nursing career kicked off with top honors, and I didn't stop there—I went on to master the world of psychiatry and even got my Doctorate. But it's not just about the diplomas on my wall; it's about making sure you get the latest and greatest in mental health care. Since 2015, I've been at the helm of Bridge to Care, steering us towards cool tech like video chats for therapy sessions—because getting help should be easy, wherever you are. And don't worry about insurance headaches; we've got that covered with a bunch of providers. I've worked in all sorts of places, from big city hospitals to cozy clinics, helping everyone from kids to grandparents—and everyone in between. No matter what you're dealing with, I've got the tools and know-how to help you tackle it head-on. I'm a big believer in looking at the big picture; your mind and body go hand-in-hand. So when we team up, you'll get a care plan that's as unique as you are, mixing different ways to get you feeling your best. In short: I'm here to back you up with top-notch care and support as we walk the road to wellness together. Ready to start feeling better? Let's do this!

Initial Consultation: During our initial visit, I provide individuals with the opportunity to openly discuss their concerns or needs. My aim is to determine if our services align with your needs and to offer initial advice or guidance. Follow-up Sessions: During follow-up visits, I conduct a comprehensive review of the patient's progress within the treatment plan. I assess any new symptoms or concerns and make necessary adjustments to optimize health outcomes. My goal is to ensure continuous support and effective treatment strategies tailored to each individual's evolving needs. Medication Management: In medication refill appointments, I conduct a thorough review of the patient's medical history. I confirm the necessity for medication refills and issue new prescriptions as required. Additionally, I address any concerns or side effects related to medications and ensure that the treatment plan remains suitable for the patient's well-being. These sessions are designed to provide comprehensive support and guidance throughout the therapeutic journey, promoting holistic wellness and personalized care.
