Hello! I am Doris, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am committed to providing equitable and compassionate psychiatric care to children and adults ages 5 to 65. In my treatment approach, the patient's input is crucial to creating a therapeutic partnership and improving outcomes. I rely on the patient-centered care model in my treatment approach as it offers many perspectives and includes the patient in the decision-making and treatment-planning process. My approach takes into consideration your developmental and bio-psycho-social histories and how they contribute to illness.

I have worked across different settings (inpatient hospitals, residential, and outpatient settings), tackling various mental health challenges, from depressive disorders to anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Autism, conduct disorders, etc), eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, Bipolar, mood and psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders.

I'm a very good listener; committed to providing compassionate and empathetic care consistent with the individual's beliefs and values. Every encounter begins with attentively listening to elicit comprehensive details of the intrinsic, extrinsic, and life or environmental factors contributing to or adversely impacting the occurring mental health challenges.

I work with clients facing mental health, behavioral, or relationship problems. The initial session is set to establish a treatment alliance, learn about the challenges, identify treatment options, and create a you-centered treatment plan. Support by evidence, most of my clients see a gradual but consistent improvement within the first week or two that is sustained thereafter.
