About Isaac

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

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

If you're considering working with me, know that I prioritize creating a safe, empathetic environment where you feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative, focusing on your unique experiences and goals. I value open communication and am committed to staying current with best practices to provide the highest quality care. Your well-being is my top priority, and I’m dedicated to helping you navigate your mental health journey with compassion and support.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I work with clients with anxiety by creating a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable sharing their experiences. I start with a comprehensive assessment to understand their specific triggers and symptoms. Treatment often involves evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies. I also teach relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and grounding exercises to help manage anxiety in daily life. Together, we set realistic goals to empower clients, promoting resilience and improved emotional well-being.

How do you work with clients with depression?

I work with clients with depression by first building a trusting and supportive relationship. I conduct a thorough assessment to understand their unique experiences and challenges. Treatment may involve evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies. I also emphasize the importance of self-care, lifestyle modifications, and, when appropriate, medication management to help alleviate symptoms. Together, we set achievable goals to promote healing and improve overall well-being, fostering a collaborative approach to recovery.

How can you provide care remotely?

I provide remote care through secure telehealth platforms that allow for video consultations, phone sessions, and messaging. This flexibility ensures that you can receive support from the comfort of your home. I offer personalized therapy, medication management, and ongoing guidance tailored to your needs, making mental health care accessible and convenient.
