Making sure you have a personalized, meaningful experience in therapy is very important to me. Let's find your voice and let's help you into a better spot so you can feel good about life. I have been in practice since 2003 working across many different settings. Through our initial discussions we will explore what may be underlying your current concerns and customize therapy so that your experience is meaningful. If you've ever felt like your previous therapists "just sat there and nodded", you won't have that experience here. I ask lots of questions and will keep you engaged throughout our time together.

Welcome to a space where it is ok to not be okay! Through my practice, I have developed a belief that every individual has the inner strength to overcome their biggest obstacle. I aim to empower you by providing tools and insight that nurture self-awareness, selfcare, and personal growth. Together, we will navigate challenges and celebrate growth. I believe that laughter and honesty are powerful tools for growth. My goal is to help you navigate life challenges with clarity, tactfully integrated humor, and actional strategies, while fostering balance across the mind and body.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I believe health is a human experience, not simply a clinical checklist. My background in traditional psychiatry has given me a strong understanding of mental health across diverse settings, grounded in evidence-based practice.

I take a compassionate, collaborative, and structured approach to care. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I work closely with each individual to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management and supportive therapy, always focusing on realistic and meaningful progress.

My goal is to help clients better understand their mental health, build effective coping strategies, and feel empowered in their treatment journey.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I’m passionate about helping you navigate life’s challenges with resilience. I have experience working with adults managing ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, depression, and cultural identity concerns. I strive to provide a culturally sensitive, affirming space where you feel heard and understood.

I hold a Doctorate in Psychology, and have worked in mental health since 1999. My work has been with adults, children and adolescents. I have met and effectively worked with patients in settings of all sort, including campus and community settings, day treatment, inpatient, outpatient, chemical dependency, residential programs and even pet-therapy.

Dating, maintaining healthy relationships, and keeping it spicy in the bedroom can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Whether you are single or in a relationship, couple’s therapy can help.

My work with Couples focuses on issues of communication, intimacy, infidelity, trust and sexual difficulties. If you are single, and are looking to work through past or prospective relationships, we can work on helping identify the factors getting in the way of finding, or maintaining healthy relationships.

Experiencing a lack of sexual fulfillment during any stage your life can feel isolating, challenging and overwhelming. Whether you are single, dating, in an open relationship, or in a committed relationship. When “sex isn’t working”, it feels uncomfortable and frustrating, and can make you feel like there is something wrong with you.

We can work together in Sex Therapy, as an Individual or as a Couple to help you achieve the positive sex goals you want and deserve. I'm an English/Spanish speaking Psychotherapist. I specialize in Individuals, Couples and Sex Therapy. I would like to help you feel better and have success in all areas of your life. Give me a call for a free consultation.
