I'm a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience in mental health. My background includes extensive work in crisis intervention and helping people through difficult times. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. My approach is professional and personable, blending expertise with warmth and humor. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing can truly begin.

Life with ADHD can be tough, with constant distractions making it hard to focus. You are not alone in this struggle. I am here to listen, support, and help you find ways to manage ADHD and improve your well-being. If daily tasks feel overwhelming or relationships are challenging, reaching out is a brave first step. Together, we can work on regaining your balance.

As a dual certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over six years of dedicated experience with adolescents and adults, my professional journey has been deeply rooted in providing compassionate mental/behavioral health care and integrating evidence-based therapies and medication management when appropriate.

Reaching out can be hard and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life.

I am a fully licensed clinician fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from KSU (2012) and a Master’s in Psychology from PUC-GO, Brazil.

My approach to therapy is shaped not only by my academic background in Psychology and Social Work, but also by my own personal journey. The challenges I’ve faced have taught me the importance of sitting with pain without judgment, listening deeply, and holding space with compassion and steadiness. I believe in the potential for healing and transformation that arises when individuals cultivate self-acceptance and integrate all aspects of their identity.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can reclaim their sense of safety, agency, and hope. It is a profound privilege to support people in their journey toward growth and self-discovery.

If you’re seeking a therapist who will honor your unique story and offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for healing, I would be honored to work with you.

I’m a bilingual therapist that offers services in both English and Spanish. I believe in transformation and strive to ensure therapy is comfortable and relatable so that my clients can thrive in an environment where they feel safe, heard, and seen.

Therapy is a "later in life" career for me. I have worked in multiple fields and with people from many backgrounds. Through this I learned that the thread connecting all of us is our desire to be able to respond rather than just react and thrive rather than just survive. What prevents this are the beliefs, experiences, and traumas that often are held in our bodies. It is when we identify and resolve these, we will live and love fully.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist and a Christian Life Coach, I believe change is very possible. I have been a part of Atlanta’s professional community for over 28 years. My MS is from Mercer University (a CACREP approved school) with additional experience in intensive marriage and family from Piedmont Hospital. I interned with Kathy Steele, an expert on complex trauma, dissociation, and other related issues. I focus on person centered therapy and solution focused. I offer EMDR and Certified.

I love working with people who are navigating the ups and downs of life — whether it’s ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, big life transitions, parenting challenges, or just feeling stuck. My ideal client is someone who’s ready to dig in, get curious, and try new ways of thinking and living. If you’re open to growth, want to feel more in control, and are ready to create positive change, I’m here to support you every step of the way!
