Hello, I have been practicing in the medical field since 1997 I have worked as an RN in multiple settings, which include; urgent care, hospital settings, home health care, long-term care, primary care providers office, behavioral health clinic, mental health crisis center and law enforcement center care. I decided that my favorite field was behavioral health. I viewed how primary care providers were treating their mental health patients vs how behavioral health practitioners were treating patients, and I came to the conclusion that I wanted to treat patients with mental health concerns, so I moved into the role of Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I love the move that I made!! I completely enjoy participating in the mental health wellness journey with my patients!!!
