Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome. As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and psychologist, I offer culturally sensitive care in both English and Spanish. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing space where you can be heard and empowered on your path to healing.

My approach to therapy

I have been in practice many years and I work primarily with adults and families who are looking for compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care in a warm and welcoming environment. I provide medication management services for adults. I provide psychotherapy services across the age spectrum for verbal children to adults up to age 90. I utilize a trauma-focused approach and am fluent in English and Spanish.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I hope to enable you to share and identify your hopes for treatment, to ask questions you may have of me, and for us to mutually determine if we are a good fit/match to assist you in moving forward in your therapeutic journey.
