Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Claudia, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I help adults and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions with compassion and clarity.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure where to start, I’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. My approach blends evidence-based medication management with a holistic, person-centered perspective. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, stigma-free, and empowering.

Clients often share that they appreciate my down-to-earth style, sense of humor, and the way I make complex issues feel more manageable. I offer telehealth services to make accessing support as convenient and comfortable as possible.

With over 15 years of nursing experience and a strong foundation in psychiatric care, I’m committed to creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in cultural competence, honoring and respecting the diverse backgrounds and lived experiences of each individual I work with. I believe in providing holistic care that supports the mind, body, and spirit, and I prioritize patient education so that you feel empowered to make informed decisions about your mental health and well-being.

I am fluent in Spanish and experienced across multiple clinical platforms, allowing me to offer flexible, accessible, and personalized care.

With a deep commitment to improving patient outcomes and fostering collaborative, therapeutic relationships, my goal is to ensure you always feel heard, understood, and supported. As an honors graduate of Miami Dade College and Nova Southeastern University, I bring a strong foundation of clinical knowledge paired with empathy, professionalism, and a genuine dedication to the people I serve.

What you can expect from our first session

If you're looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable provider who takes a holistic approach to your mental health, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and well-being.
