How do you work with clients with depression?
With clients experiencing depression, I take a compassionate, patient-centered approach, recognizing that depression affects each person differently. We start by exploring how depression impacts their daily life, relationships, and sense of self. I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship, providing a safe space where they feel comfortable discussing difficult emotions. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify negative thought patterns that may contribute to their depression, working together to reframe these thoughts into more balanced, hopeful perspectives. Additionally, we may incorporate behavioral activation, which encourages clients to engage in activities that bring them a sense of accomplishment or joy, even when motivation feels low.
With over a two decades of experience in nursing and mental health care combined, I specialize in understanding and meeting the unique needs of each individual. My journey began as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I loved caring for others and pursued the following: Licensed Practical Nurse , Associate of Science in Nursing, followed by a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and a Master’s in Psychiatric Mental Health from Hunter College. I have worked in various challenging roles, including emergency room case management, utilization review, community nursing ,child and adult psychiatry. I am skilled in listening to my patients, addressing their concerns promptly, and coordinating with a network of resources to ensure they receive the best care possible. My expertise comes from addressing social determinants of health and medical /psychiatric needs to encompass total care. I have personal and professional experience with autism and the multifaceted approach individuals need as they age from behavioral recommendations, medication management, gold standard Applied Behavioral Analysis ( ABA), family needs related to burn out and working with education providers for growth and success.

How do you work with clients with depression?
When working with clients experiencing depression, I take a compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based approach. I begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment to understand the individual’s symptoms, history, and contributing factors—whether biological, psychological, or environmental. From there, I develop a personalized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both. I often incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral activation, and supportive therapy to help clients challenge negative thought patterns, increase motivation, and reconnect with meaningful activities. I also explore lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, movement, and social connection, as these often play a key role in recovery. Throughout the process, I prioritize creating a nonjudgmental and safe space, empowering each client to move at their own pace while building tools for long-term emotional well-being.

How do you work with clients with depression?
I prioritize creating a positive and supportive environment for my clients. Utilizing evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I delve into each client's unique story to understand the root causes of their addiction. By focusing on the "why" behind their behaviors, I can develop personalized treatment plans aimed at achieving their goals. I utilize humor and active listening to engage clients effectively, making them feel understood and supported throughout their journey towards recovery. Additionally, I implement a team-based approach to ensure holistic care, addressing not only the addiction but also any co-occurring mental health issues. My ultimate goal is to empower clients to overcome addiction and lead fulfilling lives.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental health Nurse Practitioner. I treat clients across the lifespan and a sub-specialization in child and adolescents and addiction medicine. I make the experience a positive, supportive, and at times fun one. I am very clinical but I remove the "clinical feeling" from the experience. I am very client-focused and develop unique treatment plans that actually help them achieve their goals. I treat numerous areas of psychiatry including, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, PTSD and Trauma, Family/Couples therapy, sleep and appetite, Schizophrenia, OCD, ODD, personality, and eating disorders and addiction. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and supportive therapy. I learn about each individual client and learn my client's "story" so as to understand where they have been, where they are, and where they need/want to go. I also get to the "why" for each client, which is oftentimes the most important question. I utilize humor and my clients engage particularly well. My clients often say I should do standup psychiatry. My clients oftentimes ask me how I know them so well. I am famous for actively listening. My clients feel they receive my clinical expertise without feeling the clinical aspects of what one may expect in psychiatry. I am highly supportive and provide relevant health education. I utilize a team-based approach. I don't speak at my clients I speak with them. Anxiety in anticipation of the "first meeting" will be replaced by feeling more relaxed, comfortable, in a better mood, and more confident after the meeting than prior to it. They can also expect that their needs will be addressed and feel they have been "heard" by me. I am different than most in this regard as I treat my patients as I would a family member, and they can definitely feel it.
