Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care to individuals across California. With a background in both nursing and psychiatry, I specialize in diagnosing, treating, and supporting patients with a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is holistic and evidence-based, meaning I take the time to understand your unique experiences, challenges, and goals before developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether through medication management, therapy-informed care, or lifestyle interventions, my goal is to empower you on your mental health journey.

What you can expect from me

I am passionate about creating a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, offering virtual appointments across California for accessible, flexible care.

If you're looking for a provider who will partner with you to navigate your mental health with empathy and expertise, I’d love to help.
