PMHNP, 10 years of experience
A Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner hailing from Los Angeles, I boast over 17 years of diverse clinical expertise, primarily in emergency nursing. Dedicated to underserved communities, my journey led me to pursue a Master's in Nursing at Charles R. Drew University of Science and Medicine in 2020, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Passionate about behavioral health, I actively work towards reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness. Currently, I serve as a mid-level provider for adult outpatient populations, finding joy in educating and caring for my patients.
In our initial session, clients can anticipate an open and collaborative conversation. We'll discuss your concerns, goals, and any relevant history. I aim to create a comfortable space where you can share your experiences. Additionally, we'll explore the therapeutic process, addressing any questions you may have. Together, we'll outline a personalized plan tailored to your needs, setting the foundation for a supportive and effective therapeutic journey.
Although I specialize in most of the common mental health disorders, I'd have to say my biggest strengths are helping people with depression, anxiety and ADHD. I'm also good in helping patients find alternatives to medication when dealing with depression and anxiety.
I am well-suited to assist individuals seeking a holistic and personalized approach to mental health. My expertise lies in working with those dealing with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I am particularly effective with clients who value collaborative efforts, as I tailor evidence-based strategies to meet their unique needs. My approach emphasizes understanding the interconnected aspects of mental well-being, fostering a supportive environment for growth, and empowering individuals to navigate challenges effectively.
In my mental health practice, I advocate for a holistic treatment approach, recognizing the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit. My emphasis goes beyond symptom relief, delving into the root causes of mental well-being. By integrating diverse therapeutic modalities, lifestyle adjustments, and mindfulness techniques, I strive to facilitate a well-rounded healing experience. My goal is to empower individuals on a journey toward balance, resilience, and lasting mental health.

Porsha has been a calm, steady voice during one of the most emotionally overwhelming times in my life. She listened without judgment, helped me organize my thoughts, and offered real solutions i could actually use. I felt seen, supported, and mentally stronger after just one session. She's intelligent, solution-oriented, and truly understands the emotional weight of workplace and family stress. I'm grateful to have her in my corner.
