As a bilingual (Spanish & English speaking) and Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I take into account cultural, social, environmental, and economical factors that predetermine causes for mental illnesses and their proper treatments. I have expertise in helping many children, adolescents, and young adults (including those in the LGBTQ and transgender community) manage their day to day struggles in helping them live a life that is more fulfilling.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I integrate CBT by helping patients identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to their symptoms. I use short, focused techniques like helping patients track their thoughts, plan small positive activities, and find healthier ways to think about difficult situations. This approach supports medication management and empowers patients with practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and women’s mental health concerns.

I felt comfortable and listened to during the session. She asked several important questions related to the reasons I was seeking her help, and her opinion and proposed treatment made a lot of sense to me. She was respectful at all times, and I didn't feel judged.
