Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Mental health has long been treated as the forgotten side of healthcare — and for me, that's exactly why it matters so much. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients across California through telehealth and in-person care, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD. I believe that when mental health struggles go unaddressed, everything else in life suffers — and that healing is not only possible, it's necessary. When I'm not supporting my clients, you'll find me out in nature, getting lost in a good movie, or discovering new music — small reminders of the joy and balance I encourage my clients to find for themselves.

Therapist

I hold space for individuals, couples, and families to grow into the versions of themselves that are anchored in self trust, adaptable to life's shifts, and empowered to author their own stories. When intrusive thoughts, physical restlessness, or underlying dread take hold, it can feel like being swept into a repetitive cycle of self doubt and preoccupation. It is a pattern that steals your energy, pulling you away from the present moment and weakening your self trust.
