I provide psychiatric medication management for adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, with appointments often available within the same week. My approach focuses on clear diagnosis, structured treatment, and ongoing psychiatric monitoring to ensure safe and effective care.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I bring eight years of prior experience as an adult and pediatric emergency room nurse. My background in acute care has given me a strong foundation in crisis intervention, compassionate listening, and evidence-based clinical judgment.

I was born in Los Angeles, spent 15 years living in Hawaii, and now reside in Miami, Florida. My diverse life experiences — including traveling to 23 countries — have shaped my cultural awareness and deep respect for the unique perspectives of every individual I serve.

I believe that mental wellness involves treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to build meaningful, lasting change in your life.

I'm a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) offering compassionate, evidence-based care for adolescents, adults, and older adults. If you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or trauma-related concerns — or simply feeling unlike yourself — you'll be met with compassion, never judgment.

With more than 16 years of clinical experience (7 of them in psychiatry), I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, accurate diagnosis, medication management, and individualized treatment plans built around your unique needs and goals. My background spans outpatient private practice, telepsychiatry, and inpatient geriatric behavioral health, so I'm able to support people across a wide range of life stages and concerns.

At Nurelevate, I believe mental wellness is about more than managing symptoms — it's about helping you rediscover balance, build resilience, and thrive with confidence. I'm honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Florida

Searching for psychiatrists in Florida starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through approaches that vary by training and specialty. If you want support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, look for a psychiatrist whose profile lists experience with your specific concerns. Needs and available psychiatrists can vary across Florida’s urban and rural areas, so reviewing specialties and care style can help you narrow your options.

Across Florida, your search may look different in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, South Florida, or smaller coastal communities. Some people prefer in-person appointments near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling flexibility. Psychiatry appointments, especially medication management visits, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details on appointment availability, areas of focus, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Florida can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and coverage depends on your location and exact plan. Headway also verifies that listed psychiatrists are accepting new patients with your plan, so you can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
