I am a California-licensed, board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over ten years of mental health experience, serving clients throughout California. I use a collaborative and holistic approach that takes into account the biological, psychological, and social factors that may be affecting your mental health and overall well-being. My hope is to help clients improve their quality of life and live the life they value and desire.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our sessions, clients are welcomed into a supportive and private space to share their thoughts, emotions, and concerns freely. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and compassion. Through this process, we will explore challenges, uncover personal insights, strengthen coping skills, and build a deeper self-awareness that supports growth and healing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My style combines evidence-based treatment with a personalized, compassionate approach. I don’t just focus on managing symptoms—I help clients understand the root of their challenges while also developing practical tools for everyday life. By blending medication management with supportive therapy, clients gain both immediate relief and long-term strategies for lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is especially helpful for clients seeking medication management combined with a collaborative, insight-oriented therapeutic process. I’m best positioned to work with individuals who value open communication, are motivated for growth, and want a provider who integrates both medical and psychotherapeutic perspectives.
