What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to continue supporting vulnerable populations while fostering professional growth and collaboration.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a strong commitment to providing quality, evidence-based psychiatric care to children and adolescents. Currently, I work at one of the leading nonprofit community mental health clinics in North Texas, where I manage medication for patients with various mental health disorders, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My passion lies in serving underserved populations, ensuring that vulnerable patients receive the care they need.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my flexibility, dependability, and compassionate approach to patient care. I actively participate in interdisciplinary team meetings, contributing to evaluations and developing comprehensive service plans for patients. My experience includes treating a high volume of patients weekly and conducting psychiatric evaluations, which has honed my ability to respond effectively to crises and immediate needs.
