Ronnie’s approach to patient care is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. She believes that each patient is unique, and strives to understand not only symptoms, but also their personal experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals. She values open communication, active listening, and mutual respect. Ronnie prefers to use the least intrusive and most effective treatment strategies while prioritizing patient safety and long-term wellness. When prescribing medications, she carefully evaluates potential benefits, risks, previous treatment responses, medical history, and personal preferences.
Ronnie’s career has spanned multiple decades and areas of nursing and advanced practice, giving her a unique perspective on the connection between physical and mental health. This broad background allows her to approach patient care holistically and recognize the many factors that contribute to emotional well-being.
Ronnie wants parents to know that her approach to working with children and adolescents is influenced from her personal perspective of having raised a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, major depressive disorder, and severe ADHD. She knows how difficult this is, and that professional guidance and support is crucial to a successful outcome.
