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.
First session
In our first virtual session, patients can expect a structured yet conversational assessment focused on understanding their mental health history, current concerns, and goals for treatment.
Strengths
I am dedicated and passionate about helping people who require assistance to live better lives with mental illness by active listening, providing patience, proper communication, and building a trusting relationship between patient and provider. I feel these are some of my greatest qualities as a provider that have helped me be successful in my sessions.
Ideal clients
I have expertise in helping many children, adolescents, and adults (including those in the LGBTQ and transgender community) struggling with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Postpartum Depression, Stress, OCD, PTSD, and other mood disorders.
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.
