Hello! I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based in California. I received my Masters from West Coast University and have been practicing in mental health for 6 years. Prior to becoming an NP, as a USMC Veteran, I worked at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego working with injured service members suffering from PTSD. Today, I help adults of all ages struggling with various aspects of life that may be causing anxiety, depression, or mood instability.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. Together we can discuss medication options that are appropriate and suit your specific needs.
Having worked with various populations, I feel I am able to connect with my clients in a authentic and meaningful way. I am eagar to be a part of your journey and work together to identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with individuals who are curious about their lives, are open to discuss solution based strategies. When my clients are eager to improve, we can create a plan that strengthens your overall wellbeing, and life success.
