Hello! I'm a dedicated and experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of expertise in providing comprehensive mental health care across various psychiatric settings. My career has been focused on delivering patient-centered care, with specialized experience in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic interventions.
I have extensive experience working in specialized psychiatric units, including the Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Recovery Room at The Brook Hospital KMI.

With a strong foundation in psychiatric care, critical thinking, and a compassionate approach, I am committed to providing empathetic and evidence-based mental health care.
Thank you for considering me for your psychiatric care needs. I am here to support you in achieving optimal mental health and well-being.
