Great to meet you!

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner with 19 years of experience in the medical field, focused on providing thoughtful, individualized care in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Barry University, completed my Master’s in Family Nurse Practitioner at Chamberlain University in Chicago, and later obtained my Post-Master’s certification in Psychiatry from the University of Miami. I have spent the past three and a half years working as a psychiatric provider, helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and mood-related conditions through comprehensive evaluations and ongoing care.

My approach is centered on understanding the full picture and creating a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. I value consistency, clear communication, and building a strong therapeutic relationship so you feel supported throughout your care.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and understood.

My approach to therapy

I focus on understanding the full picture, not just symptoms, so care is tailored to each person’s unique situation and goals.

I take a thoughtful and individualized approach, making sure each step is clear and intentional rather than rushed. I value consistency and follow-through, so you feel supported throughout your care, not just during appointments.

My goal is to provide guidance that is practical, realistic, and aligned with what works best for you.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will be a safe and supportive space where you can share your concerns openly.

We’ll take time to understand your current situation, including your symptoms, history, and goals. This helps create a clear picture of what you need moving forward.

My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, cared for, and with a better understanding of your next steps.
