Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

I am a provider at our Bridgeport clinic who offers psychiatry services!

My ideal clients will have a wide variety of psychiatric issues including, but not limited to mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, and disorders related to organic causes. I imagine their needs involving safety, security, and optimal daily function that is specific to their lifestyle. These needs mentioned can facilitate resiliency which is extremely important for overcoming obstacles life can throw our way. I envision their goals will incorporate multiple ideas that ultimately lead to the main objective, experiencing genuine happiness. They want these things so they can feel their existence has meaning and purpose, as well as pleasant experiences within themselves and with those around them. These relationships and experiences can help individuals achieve satisfaction in their lives.

I can help by providing care that is tailored to the specific individual. I want to assist my patients in identifying their unique emotional, spiritual, social, and physical needs. I will achieve this by building a therapeutic relationship with my patients and using skills such as medication management and individual therapy to achieve the patient’s goals. I believe education is equally important as treatment, as we are more willing to make changes if we can understand why we are making the changes. Saying this, I want to educate my patients fully on their conditions and the care I provide. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have completed training specific to mental health and have a knowledge base tailored to your individual needs.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I’m here to listen without judgment and meet you where you are. I want to work together on your goals and make a plan that helps you achieve these specific intentions. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, other mental health concerns, or just feeling stuck, I’m committed to helping you find a path forward that aligns with your goals, your values, and your unique story. I want you to know that I see you as a whole person and value a holistic approach that is all encompassing. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage, and it’s not something I take lightly. My approach blends current evidence-based care with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience. I believe healing happens when we feel safe, understood, and empowered and that’s what I strive to offer in every session. If you’re ready to take the next step, or even if you’re just exploring what support could look like, I invite you to reach out.
