PMHNP, 4 years of experience
With over 25 years of experience in nursing, now as a board-certified Nurse Practitioner, I bring a deep commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Nursing Practice.My professional focus is on supporting individuals who are navigating mental health challenges. I believe that building a strong, trusting relationship between patient and provider is essential to creating a safe, calming, and collaborative care environment. My goal is to ensure that every person I work with feels heard, supported, and empowered to get the help they need to improve their quality of life. In addition to English, I also speak Portuguese and Spanish, and I’m happy to provide care in the language that helps you feel most comfortable and understood
Knowing a bit more about the patient and what they are looking to achieve, helps me create a tailored plan in order to serve the patient as best as possible and help them achieve their goal. The first session, is the time patient and provider create the trust needed to achieve success in the journey for a better health, and a much happier life.

I believe in building a trusting, respectful relationship with my patients. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard and understood, so we can work together to help you regain control over your mental health and emotional well-being. I’m here to support, guide, and empower you every step of the way.
