Practitioner – Psychiatric Mental Health & Family Practice

I am a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with five years of clinical experience, dual-certified in Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice. I earned my master’s degrees from Charles R. Drew University, where I developed a passion for integrating mental and physical health care to support the whole person.

With a strong foundation of 12 years as an ER nurse and seven years as a psychiatric technician, I bring a well-rounded, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to care. My experience spans across diverse populations and a wide range of clinical settings, allowing me to provide personalized and culturally sensitive treatment.

My approach to therapy

My philosophy of care is centered on rapport-building, honesty, and open-mindedness. I strive to create a safe space where my patients feel truly seen and heard. You can expect to leave a session with me feeling supported, understood, and empowered—not just medicated.

What you can expect from me

My goal during a session is to work with you to get to the root of the issue, so that medications become a tool, not a lifelong crutch.

I believe in treating people, not just symptoms—because healing starts with being truly cared for.
