What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead evidence-based psychiatric care in high-acuity settings—especially crisis stabilization and medication management—while collaborating with an interdisciplinary team and delivering truly patient-centered outcomes.

I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 5+ years of extensive experience across psychiatric and emergency care settings. I focus on comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and evidence-based treatment planning, using both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic psychotherapy interventions.

I bring hands-on strength in crisis stabilization and high-acuity patient care, including crisis intervention for suicidal ideation, psychosis, withdrawal/intoxication, trauma-related conditions, and overdose. I’m known for stabilizing patients in acute psychiatric settings, monitoring clinical progress, and coordinating safe discharge planning through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Across roles such as psychiatric and emergency department RN (including travel and PRN float positions), I delivered rapid assessments, supported behavioral safety monitoring and rounds, and facilitated group therapy and non-pharmacologic sessions to improve patient engagement and outcomes. I also use telehealth for psychiatric evaluations and medication management, while maintaining accurate EHR documentation.

I’m proficient in EHR systems including EPIC, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Valant, and I prioritize therapeutic communication and patient-centered care across diverse age groups and populations. I’m also pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) to deepen clinical leadership and strengthen the evidence-based models I rely on to help patients move toward stability.
