More About Kimberly Walker-Daniels

Clinical Interests:

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I bring broad experience caring for patients of all ages (pre-adolescent to geriatric) in inpatient, outpatient, clinic, long-term care, and home settings. My patient focus includes clients experiencing serious mental illness (depression, anxiety, bipolar, psychotic and personality disorders), alcohol and substance use disorders, gender dysphoria and gender identity affirmation, dual diagnoses, and other challenging mental, behavioral, and emotional conditions.

Clinical Approach:

Dignity. Honoring the inherent dignity of each individual. Celebrating the uniqueness of those with whom I work, my patients and their families alike.

Professionalism. Setting my practice apart through patient-centered care. Providing excellent service to every person, meeting them where they are, and working together to determine where they would like to be.

Integrity and honesty. Pursuing integrity and unconditional honesty in all situations. Establishing trusting relationships with my clients and their families. I believe that mental health and emotional growth can only proceed at the speed of trust.

Excellence in practice. Valuing life-long learning and continual practice improvement. Highly skilled at managing complex medication regimens, and working with clients in developing both prescribing and de-prescribing plans.

Hobbies:

I am a Wisconsinite through-and-through. My family are Packers, Brewers, and Badgers fans. We camp, hike, hunt, and fish, and grow a lot of our own food in our gardens. Yes, I’m very much a foodie, and will trade recipes with anyone – I make a mean vegetarian chili and Thanksgiving is always at my house. I’m also a sci-fi geek, an avid reader, have a yellow lab, cats, and an African Grey parrot. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and Solstice is a close second.
