Focus Area: Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Licensed in: California
As a licensed nurse practitioner and board-certified in both family medicine and psychiatric and mental health, I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health issues for adults and children, including Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, OCD, and ADHD.
About Me
I prioritize a holistic approach, focusing on the whole person when evaluating, diagnosing, and treating psychiatric and mental health concerns in children and adolescents. Through close collaboration with my patients and their families, I provide compassionate guidance and education to enhance their understanding of their diagnosis and optimize treatment plans, which may include medication management, diet, exercise, and psychotherapy. I utilize various methods such as reading, journaling, creative projects, and handouts to help my clients comprehend their feelings and empower them to improve their mental health while a client at Headlight health.
