About Denis
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 15 years of progressive experience in healthcare, spanning direct patient care, military medicine, and advanced psychiatric practice across diverse settings. I began my career as a certified nursing assistant, later serving nearly five years as a U.S. Army Healthcare Specialist/EMT at Fort Bragg. I went on to earn my BSN from UNC Pembroke and my MSN as a PMHNP from Vanderbilt University. I now provide trauma-informed, evidence-based psychiatric care across the lifespan in community, telehealth, and correctional settings.
I use a calm, trauma-informed, and collaborative style, combining careful assessment, clear psychoeducation, and evidence-based medication management. I focus on mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders, helping clients understand their symptoms, build hope, and make steady, realistic progress toward lasting emotional stability.
I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a safe, respectful space where you never have to face your struggles alone. If you are ready to explore a path toward stability, healing, and renewed hope, I would be honored to support you in taking the next step.

"I love solving problems together for my patients. I believe in providing the highest quality of care possible and seeing patients progress fulfils my passion. I care deeply about my patients."
