Licensed to practice in California and accepts 56 insurances. Specializes in Addiction, Depression and 10 more.
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to supporting your mental health and well-being through compassionate, evidence-based care. I work with individuals to diagnose and treat a range of mental health conditions, offering personalized treatment plans that include therapy, medication management, and lifestyle guidance. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered in your healing journey.
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we’ll take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask about your current concerns, mental health history, medical background, and any goals you have for treatment. This session is all about understanding your unique story so I can develop a personalized care plan that fits your needs. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions, share any concerns, and discuss treatment options—including therapy, medication, or both—at your own pace.
My greatest strengths as a psychiatric nurse practitioner are empathy, active listening, and a holistic approach to care. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported. I'm skilled at blending clinical knowledge with compassion, which helps me tailor treatment plans that honor each person's unique needs and preferences. I'm also committed to ongoing learning, ensuring that the care I provide is grounded in the latest evidence and best practices.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I’m best positioned to serve clients who are navigating Substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related challenges, or life transitions. I work especially well with individuals who value a collaborative, holistic approach to mental health—those open to combining therapy, medication management, and practical coping strategies. Whether you're seeking support for the first time or looking for more tailored, ongoing care, I provide a nonjudgmental space where your experiences are respected and your goals are prioritized.

She was kind, understanding, and patient with me. Sometimes I have a hard time saying what I wanted to and other times I couldn't hear so I needed her to verify what she said.
