My approach is compassionate and holistic, integrating both mental and physical health to support overall well-being. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported in their journey to better mental health.

My expertise includes prescribing medications and providing education on mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, panic disorder, OCD, chronic pain, and schizophrenia.

By fostering a safe and supportive space, I help clients regain balance, resilience, and well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My approach to providing care is rooted in compassion, evidence-based treatment, and a deep commitment to personalized mental health support. With a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) and dual certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), I bring a comprehensive, whole-person perspective to mental health care. My journey in healthcare began with a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges—whether overcoming anxiety, depression, or chronic conditions. Having trained at Brandman University in California and the University of Texas at Tyler, I have developed an approach that blends medical expertise with a personal, empathetic connection to my clients. I believe in meeting clients where they are, whether they are struggling with work stress, school pressures, or everyday emotional difficulties. To me, mental health care isn’t just about prescribing medications—it’s about building a strong therapeutic relationship, empowering clients with education, and tailoring treatment to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel heard and supported. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process approachable, collaborative, and affirming. By integrating both mental and physical health, I provide comprehensive care that helps clients lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
