I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a nursing background caring for adults and older adults. I provide psychiatric evaluations and evidence-based medication management in both English and Spanish. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where every patient feels heard, understood, and involved in their treatment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on understanding each patient as a whole person. I carefully consider symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, current medications, lifestyle, and treatment goals. When medication is appropriate, I explain the options, benefits, possible side effects, and monitoring needs. Together, we develop a personalized and evidence-based treatment plan.
During your first session, we will complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and discuss your current concerns, health history, medications, sleep, daily functioning, and treatment goals. You will have time to ask questions and share what is most important to you. We will then discuss my clinical impressions and create an individualized plan, which may include medication management, education, laboratory testing, appropriate referrals, and follow-up care.
