Hello! I'm a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing, specializing in psychiatry. I'm qualified to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, panic disorder, and PTSD.

I believe in treating each person holistically — considering the mental, physical, environmental, and social factors that shape your wellbeing. My approach is non-judgmental, because I understand there is no shame or guilt in seeking help for mental health. Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious — and helping them move through that is exactly why I do this work. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, shopping, and trying new foods.

I am a double board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC, FNP-C) with over 15 years of nursing experience and clinical practice as a family nurse practitioner since 2020. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults, including comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive treatment for conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, personality disorders, and other behavioral health concerns. My goal is to partner with patients in achieving optimal mental wellness and improved quality of life through individualized, patient-centered care and active therapeutic collaboration

I have my LPC-Licensed Professional Counselor and LMFT-Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor licenses. I have my Juris Doctorate and I am an expert in family law. My approach is collaborative, practical, and I make sure the client has something they can use to help themselves by the end of every session. I work with all types of clients, but mostly with adults, individually and as couples.

You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck - functioning on the outside while struggling internally. I work with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, day to day stressors or the effects of past or ongoing stress and trauma. Many clients are thoughtful and capable but feel on edge, emotionally shut down, reactive, or unsure why things feel so hard. Parents often seek support when their child is struggling with big emotions, anxiety, mood changes, or behavior that feels confusing or concerning. Clients want relief, clarity, and to feel more steady and in control again.

I have over 12 years working with children, teens, and adults in the mental healthcare space. I have worked in numerous areas including community clinics, foster care, court systems, residential facilities, and more. I am licensed in both CA and TX and hold many certifications for therapy models.

My wide scope of practice supports children, adolescents, and adults with trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. I also help clients manage everyday overwhelm, emotional reactivity, and burnout—not just major diagnoses. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating grief, anger, relationship conflict, life transitions, and behavioral or emotional challenges.

My journey to becoming a psychiatric mental health provider originated from the need to provide psychiatric mental health services to all persons. I worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting for five years and decided to advance my career by obtaining my master’s degree in nursing - psychiatry. This advancement has allowed me to help others with their mental health journey. Do you need help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychosis, and mania? Reach out today! Your mental health is important.

Reaching out for support takes courage. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, or substance use concerns, you deserve a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. My goal is to provide a safe, collaborative environment where healing and meaningful change can take place. My clinical work integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, and person-centered principles. I am trained in EMDR therapy, which allows us to address unresolved trauma and distressing experiences in a way that promotes lasting healing.

While EMDR can be a powerful tool, I believe therapy is not about one technique, it is connection.

I tailor each treatment plan to the unique needs, goals, and strengths of the individual sitting in front of me. Clients often describe me as direct yet warm. I value honesty, accountability, and empowerment. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional regulation skills, and develop practical strategies that support
