If you’re feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, struggling with sleep, or simply not feeling like yourself, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) with experience caring for adults in psychiatric and complex medical settings.

I take a whole-person approach, considering how mental and physical health, medical conditions, medications, stress, and life changes affect well-being.

I support adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and challenges related to major life or health changes.

I provide compassionate care in both English and Spanish, with a focus on creating a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and understood.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I believe effective psychiatric care begins with understanding the whole person—not just a diagnosis or symptoms.

I take time to understand your history, health, medications, lifestyle, stressors, and goals to create a treatment plan tailored to you. When medication is appropriate, I focus on thoughtful prescribing, clear education, and ongoing monitoring.

My goal is for you to feel heard, informed, and actively involved in your care—and ultimately, to help you feel more like yourself again.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and understand what you’re experiencing. We’ll discuss your concerns, symptoms, mental and medical history, medications, sleep, stressors, and treatment goals.

Together, we’ll develop an individualized plan based on your needs and goals. You don’t need to have everything figured out beforehand. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and leave with a clearer path forward.
