As a compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse with a passion for mental health, I have spent my career providing quality patient-centered care, with competent skills in assessments and evaluation, medication management, and treatment planning. I recently passed the board examination and have earned my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Board Certification (PMHNP-BC). With over 3 years of experience, I have worked in diverse healthcare settings, providing complex medical and psychiatric care. My passion for mental health has led me to behavioral health nursing, focusing on patient assessments, crisis intervention, de-escalation techniques, and patient education on coping skills to manage mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to connect to a broader patient population offering care that is culturally competent. I recently graduated from the PMHNP program at MSOE University, where I built a strong foundation in mental health. My goal is to become an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in mental health providing high-quality, stigma-free care to individuals in need. I am particularly interested in addressing the needs of mental health in underserved communities and advocating for better access to care and services.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life. As a Caribbean American, I help men and women heal from trauma and toxic relationships by providing a safe, judgment free zone where you can learn new coping strategies to live your best life. I utilize cognitive-behavioral interventions and a psychodynamic and systems-based perspective that focuses on providing you with the tools to do the work to heal yourself. Are you ready to do the work? I am currently accepting new clients for 2024. Let us collaborate to improve your emotional intelligence, build your confidence, and maintain healthy relationships with others so you can experience as much joy and peace as possible.
