Hi there, I'm Francis!

I came to the United States of America in 1997. In 2001, I joined the US Army, where I served as a medic for 8 years. After my military service, I decided to go to Nursing School. I graduated with my MSN from Walden University as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

My focus

My focus is to provide psychiatric treatment for individuals 18 years and older. My focus areas are bipolar disorder/manic depressive illness, OCD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, ADHD, and schizophrenia.

My approach

During therapy, I stay calm in front of my clients, show personal interest in the needs of the client, take my time to understand the client's perspective, acknowledge the client's feelings, and take care of my own needs as a provider.
