How do you work with clients with grief?
When I work with clients experiencing grief, I approach them with compassion and care. I understand that grief is a deeply personal experience, and I tailor my interventions to what each individual needs. I use emotionally focused and strength-based methods to help you process your emotions and guide you through the stages of grief. Mindfulness techniques can be helpful in grounding you in the present moment, and I’ll work alongside you at your own pace, supporting you as you navigate your feelings and begin to heal.
As a board-certified PMHNP with nearly a decade of experience, I provide comprehensive mental health care to diverse populations. I specialize in diagnosing and treating Mood Disorders (depression, bipolar), Anxiety Disorder (GAD, Panic, PTSD), Substance Use Disorder, and ADD/ADHD disorders using evidence-based interventions and psychopharmacology. My experience spans outpatient, inpatient, and crisis stabilization settings. Currently, I serve as Medical Director at a mental health and substance abuse treatment center. I focus on medication management, therapy, and patient education to foster holistic care and improve outcomes.
I empower patients through education and support, guiding them with dignity and respect. I provide psychotherapy, medication management, crisis intervention, and focus on preventative care to ensure long-term stability. Specializing in mood, anxiety, substance use disorders, and ADHD, I use a holistic approach with tailored treatments for all ages.
