I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 7 years of experience helping individuals understand their minds, emotions, and behaviors on a deeper level. My journey into mental health began with a passion for connection, compassion, and the healing power of self-awareness. I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, guiding them toward clarity and confidence. I believe that growth begins when we feel seen, understood, and empowered to participate in our own healing process.

I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from the University of San Diego, where I strengthened my clinical and neuroscience foundation. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based strategies with empathy and mindfulness. I aim to help clients find balance, insight, and sustainable progress in their mental health journey.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of expectations, struggling to rest, or feeling disconnected, I want you to know change is possible. Together, we can explore what balance looks like, develop tools for emotional regulation, and rediscover peace and purpose. Healing isn’t about perfection; it’s about understanding your own rhythm and reclaiming your calm.
