Summary
Resourceful PMHNP-BC, committed to providing excellent care to patients of all ages. Passionate patient advocate, focused on decreasing many of the overlooked disparities associated with mental health care and its related stigma. Skilled in teaching the concepts and strategies for developing psychological resilience, in an effort to improve mental wellness, thus decreasing the multi-generational prevalence and severity of mental illness. Expertise in performing assessments and assisting patients to identify and verbalize their unique concerns and needs. As an APRN-PHN, I have spent the last 27 years as an empathetic and caring professional, skilled at monitoring and providing treatment for patients diagnosed with disabilities, illnesses and distress. Now I am excited to serve in a slightly different capacity, as a PMHNP-BC.
