I am an ANCC board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist. I hold a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of Florida, a Master of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Florida and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Florida State University.
Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked for several years in clinical research. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have worked for 10+ years as a consultant for short and long-term care residents, working with adults of all ages with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, sleep disorders and dementia.
I believe in a holistic approach within a supportive environment. I utilize a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach with an emphasis on the Health Promotion Model, focusing on increasing one’s self-efficacy.
