PMHNP, 10 years of experience
I am board-certified to see all ages but my primary focus is to empower women on their wellness journey by offering a comfortable and causal setting for treatment. While I do provide traditional medication management, I aim to offer holistic & integrative treatment options to help clients explore the WHOLE picture. When I'm not working at the hospital or clinic, you can find me outdoors exploring the SoCal deserts & beaches with my family, drinking a big cup of coffee and reading a book, or in my kitchen creating nourishing meals.
During our initial appointment we will start with brief introductions and then dive right into your individual needs and areas you'd like to address. We'll review your medical history and goals for treatment and spend time discussing the best options for you and your lifestyle. I recognize that each of our patients is complex & comes to us with different experiences & environmental influences. Mental health needs are often caused by multiple intermingled factors. Nutritional deficiencies, gut flora imbalances, hormonal issues, exposure to toxins, stress levels, & personal history can all contribute to one’s state of wellness. So we'll address these too!
I also specialize in reproductive psychiatry and work closely with those in the process of conceiving, throughout pregnancy, and postpartum in order to safely manage mental health needs during this critical time for both mom and baby.
Teen girls 12-18 and women of all ages I have specialty training in and enjoy working with the perinatal and postpartum population
I take an interactive, solution-focused approach to treatment. I strive to provide support and practical feedback, helping clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary and integrative treatments and traditional medication management to offer a highly personalized approach, tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they wish to attain.
