Clinical Perspective

​

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of clinical experience across inpatient, emergency, consultation-liaison, and outpatient psychiatric settings. My work emphasizes diagnostic clarity, careful interpretation of medication response, and a comprehensive understanding of how treatment trajectories evolve over time. I focus particularly on patients who have undergone multiple treatments without achieving sustained improvement, helping to bring structure and coherence to care that has felt fragmented or ineffective.​​​​

Why I Specialize in Complex Cases

​

Over years of clinical practice, I repeatedly observed patients being rushed through brief medication visits, often resulting in fragmented treatment plans, unnecessary polypharmacy, or incomplete diagnostic clarity. These experiences reinforced a central clinical truth: treatment-resistant conditions rarely reflect patient failure—they reflect the need for deeper analysis.

​

Harmonia was founded to provide the level of investigative, structured psychiatric care that complex cases require. Rather than relying on reflexive prescribing or one-size-fits-all protocols, I focus on clarifying diagnoses, identifying contributing factors, and systematically refining treatment strategies. This work requires curiosity, clinical discipline, and a willingness to revisit assumptions—qualities that define my practice.
