About My Clients
I provide collaborative, personalized care for clients across the lifespan experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood disorders, insomnia, and major life transitions. Initial visits include a comprehensive assessment and careful diagnostic evaluation, with screening tools as needed. Treatment may include medication management, education, wellness strategies, and brief evidence-based therapeutic support. Follow-ups focus on progress, side effects, and ongoing support.
My Background and Approach
I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in Maryland. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for patients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. Shining Path Wellness Clinic is grounded in evidence-based care delivered with empathy, professionalism, and integrity. I believe mental wellness is possible for everyone when treatment is personalized, compassionate, and clinically sound. Each individual is met with respect, cultural humility, and nonjudgmental support. My approach integrates diagnostic assessment, medication management, mindfulness therapy (completed training), and wellness strategies to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Care is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on safety, measurable progress, resilience, and restored purpose.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe mental health care should feel safe, respectful, and empowering. I am passionate about helping individuals and families feel seen and supported—especially those who have felt misunderstood, stigmatized, or overlooked in traditional healthcare settings. My work is grounded in compassion, integrity, and evidence-based practice, and I strive to provide care that honors each person’s culture, background, and lived experience. I strongly value education and advocacy, and I am committed to helping reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. I believe healing is possible when people are met with empathy and given the right tools, support, and treatment plan. I also believe in collaborative care and enjoy working closely with therapists, primary care providers, and community partners to ensure clients receive well-rounded support. At Shining Path Wellness Clinic, I stand for hope, resilience, and whole-person wellness—and my goal is to help every client feel informed
