I have worked in mental health for over 20 years. I am board certified in General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I have an extensive history of providing mental health services in all levels of care, including inpatient treatment, residential care, intensive outpatient services, community-based treatment, forensic cases and private practice. I find that psychotherapy and psychotropic medication management can be combined to provide effective support, relief and recovery. I have experience treating attention deficit disorders, autism, anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, school phobia, and specializes in the treatment of PTSD and eating disorders. I believe in a holistic approach that combines appropriate therapeutic modalities treating individuals, families, and groups; and, where indicated, effective medication strategies.
I am Doris, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing degree at Walden University in Minneapolis, MN. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 13 years in outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings. I am committed to providing holistic and culturally competent individualized care that embodies the client's developmental and bio-psycho-social histories in my treatment approach. I have experience working with individuals ages 5 to 65 and older adults struggling with depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and ADHD, eating disorders, trauma, behavior problems, and other co-occurring mental disorders. Owing to the abstract nature and presentation of mental health conditions, I believe the patient is integral to a successful treatment outcome and employ the patient-centered model in my evaluation and treatment recommendations.
Through active listening, empathy, respect, and partnership, I continue to deliver high quality, patient-centered care, utilizing the most recent evidence-based advancements in healthcare.
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and manage both chronic disease issues, as well as mental/behavioral health issues affecting all patients irrespective of their age, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or natural origin.
I graduated from Governors State University and Northern Kentucky University as a Doctor of Nursing Practice. I have been helping patients for several years in appropriately diagnosing and treating their health issues.
I actively listen to, and gain understanding of every patient's perceptions of their symptoms and health care needs, and partner with them to provide treatments, education, and resources, that are tailored to manage and meet those needs.
