How do you work with clients with bipolar disorder?
I support clients with bipolar disorder through careful assessment, accurate diagnosis, and ongoing medication management to help stabilize mood and reduce the intensity of manic, hypomanic, or depressive episodes. I focus on understanding each client’s mood patterns, stressors, sleep, lifestyle, and overall functioning so treatment can be tailored to their needs. My approach is patient-centered and supportive, helping clients build stability, recognize early warning signs, and improve long-term emotional wellness.
I worked as a board-certified psychiatric nurse with adults for 15 years in various settings before becoming a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). In 2024, I completed my Doctorate in Nursing Practice and received my NP104 for Independent Practice as a PMHNP in February 2026. My experience as an RN includes working in adult psychiatric inpatient units, emergency rooms, and electroconvulsive therapy departments in several major healthcare facilities in the Los Angeles area, including Cedars Sinai, UCLA, Huntington Hospital, and Glendale Adventist Medical Center. As a PMHNP-BC, I worked for Tarzana Treatment Centers and outpatient psychiatric practices. In our first session together, we will start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. We will work towards establishing some short-term and long-term goals for treatment and treatment outcomes. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
