Mentor & Coach for New Graduate PMHNPs
Anxious about your first PMHNP role?
You don't have to do this alone.
Why I Started
Coaching
I remember my first position as a PMHNP. I felt so confident that I would have support and mentorship that I moved across the country to Arizona for the position.
But I was mistaken. I was given complex cases and faced with ethical dilemmas I was not prepared for in school. I never received the mentorship or support that I was promised. I spent hours after work reading charts, researching and taking notes throughout the night. It was months before I felt comfortable. I felt alone.
​
And I don't want you to go through that.
​
It's not safe for patients, and it is not the way to start a career you dreamed of having.
​
My Story
My name is Maria and I'm your local Arizona psychiatric nurse practitioner! I was raised in Massachusetts and moved to Arizona in 2017.
​
I currently own a telehealth practice in Arizona - Paperflower Psychiatry, LLC specializing in children, adolescents, young adults and perinatal psychiatry. I have precepted many PMHNP students over the past few years and I previously served as an instructor for several nursing programs.
Serving the community has always been important to me. For a period of time, I was the Director of Behavioral Health at Clinica PACH. In my private practice, I provide asylum evaluations pro-bono. I recently provided a Mental Health 101 presentation to providers in Kenya via the Addis Clinic.
​
Perhaps most Importantly, I am "mama" to Mayumi. I was recently forced to choose between a teaching career in higher education which I loved and spending time with my daughter. So I decided to leave that position and move forward with teaching in a new (mom friendly) way.
​
So somehow, we've both made it here!
​
Now what can I actually offer you?
PMHNP Success Programs
Everyone requires varying levels of support depending on their position, learning styles and comfort levels. I currently offer mentorship and coaching through video, text and email platforms.

Video Coaching sessions can be utilized for a multitude of reasons -- case reviews, psychopharmacology in clinical use, diagnostic clarifications, billing, coding, time management in practice and building evaluation templates.
