About me

Hi! I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) licensed in California, South Carolina, New Mexico, and Nevada. I received my Masters from the Walden University and have been in Mental health for 7 years. I help children adolescents, and adults who struggle to be heard or respected with compassion, understanding, using psychotherapy and medication management in a collaborative approach.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked in mental health for the past 7 years, Oftentimes, I am always saddened when a patient’s physical wounds and pain are inappropriately questioned due to their mental illness status. Rather than becoming disappointed in the healthcare system, I’ve strengthened my resolve and have determined to make a difference as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people who struggle to be heard and understood. My clients are eager to improve, but don’t yet have what is needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious.

I loved that she listened and didn’t focus on only asking the necessary questions. She was genuinely compassionate and caring about my health and well being. She provided great insight and I look forward to working with her.

Great balance between inquiring about my past and present, whilst providing helpful coping strategies and prescriptions.

She really took a lot of time to assess my true situation and then when big feelings arose she made sure I knew I wasn’t going to go through this process alone. Very thorough and reassuring.
