Biography
Gérald is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) driven by his fervidness for patient-centered, evidence-based practice, and concerted approaches to nursing care. With the experience accumulated over 30 years in health care, he aims to help close the gap in delivering services to the mentally ill. Gérald’s priority is to support the patients and their families in overcoming the stigmas associated with mental health, help patients improve their quality of life, and reach their full potential. “Anything that is human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” — Fred Rogers
