Welcome! I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in medication management and supportive therapy. My practice upholds the importance of mindfulness, staying fully present and engaged at the moment without judgment. This commitment to mindfulness allows me to assess and address each patient's needs attentively, considering every aspect of their unique mental health journey. We value peace in my practice, not just as an end goal but also as an essential component of our therapeutic environment. Creating a peaceful, non-judgmental space for individuals from all walks of life encourages open dialogue and improves mental health outcomes. I am passionate about the principle of 'one step at a time,' especially when adapting to medication management. This approach ensures that changes to your medication regime are made gradually and thoughtfully, providing ample opportunity for you to adjust and for us to monitor your progress closely. Embracing diversity and respecting each patient's privacy and time are integral parts of my practice, and I aim to foster trust through these values. My dedication is not merely to the clock but to you as an individual and to enhancing the overall quality of your mental health by tailoring treatment plans to your unique needs. Witnessing my clients' improvements fuels my passion for mental health, propelling a patient-centric approach during sessions. I see my work as a calling and find immense inspiration in helping clients lead healthier, happier lives. Thank you for considering me as your mental health partner.

I received a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from San Diego State University, and an Associate Degree in Nursing from San Diego City College. I am board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) from the ANCC. While completing clinical rotations, I was immediately drawn to the field of psychiatry. I saw how compassion and empathy – skills I’d developed over a 19-year career in veterinary medicine – were extremely valuable and immediately transferable to patients experiencing mental health issues. Since then, I’ve worked in an acute care inpatient psychiatry unit and on a consult team treating patients with substance use disorders. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I am committed to helping patients achieve their mental health goals. Growing up in New Mexico, I was surrounded by vibrant Southwestern culture, delicious food, and otherworldly landscapes. Throughout high school and college, I immersed myself in the music and theater scenes and became active in the queer community after coming out at age 16. Living as a young queer kid in a relatively conservative town presented many challenges, but those experiences made me understand and appreciate the importance of visibility, inclusion, trust, and mutual respect. As a person and a practitioner, I embrace everyone I meet with curiosity and an open mind. I believe that this creates a judgment-free, welcoming environment that can nurture and grow relational trust. With clients, my priority is to help them feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe that fostering a rich personal life is what allows me to show up for my clients and provide the best care possible. When not working, I can be found attending/traveling to see live shows, or listening/dancing to one of my favorite records at home (current rotation: Metronomy, Little Dragon, Stromae, and Charlotte Adigéry). I share my home with my husband and our two spunky senior pups who frequently demand our undivided attention. I also love traveling, hiking, cycling, and pretending to be good at roller skating.

My mission is simple: to empower my clients to achieve a good quality of life.

Mental health is not one glove fits all. We each have our unique backgrounds, stories, lifestyles, struggles, beliefs, and sources of joy. It is my mission to offer you a safe space where you can truly express and be seen as your whole self; and not just as a diagnosis. Your voice and your goals matter. I practice in a holistic manner using medications, behavioral techniques, therapy, nutrition, education, and other integrative interventions to promote long-term wellness. Together, we can navigate through depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, life transitions, current stressors and more. ----- My upbringing amidst community violence; in addition to my experience with inner-city social equity work, national poetry competitions, global travel, and overseas medical missions; motivates me to practice in the forward-thinking field of psychiatry where we must understand that wellness is directly impacted by our cultural upbringing, environmental influence, attachment styles, relationships, exposure to trauma, and the broadened umbrella of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Hobbies and interests I enjoy in my own life include yoga, HIIT, Muay Thai, powerlifting, rock climbing, backpacking, surfing, snowboarding, cycling, dance, curating music, anime, travel, and spending time with my community.
