About
I find it truly rewarding to help those who are struggling mentally.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 6 years of experience, including 5 years dedicated to psychiatric care. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s unique journey. My goal is to empower clients to achieve stability, improve their quality of life, and rediscover joy in their daily experiences.
I hold a Doctorate in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. My approach combines empathic listening with motivational interviewing to create a safe space where clients feel understood and supported. By helping individuals recognize their strengths and guiding them toward meaningful change, I support lasting growth and resilience.
I welcome clients to connect with me in a supportive and collaborative environment, whether in person or through convenient telehealth visits. My care is designed to help individuals find balance, build resilience, and improve their overall quality of life. Together, we can work toward a stronger sense of peace and well-being.

As an immigrant woman of color, I personally understand the profound challenges of navigating life’s obstacles, especially when it feels like you’re facing them alone, without support, or disconnected from others. I’m deeply committed to helping others find connection, strength, and a sense of belonging during those difficult times.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. I provide compassionate support to children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups facing concerns such as chronic illness, anxiety, depression, panic disorders, mood disorders, parenting struggles, and relationship issues. I am also dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic violence, offering a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. My background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy, family therapy, and crisis intervention.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
I am committed to empowering clients by helping them develop healthier coping skills and a stronger sense of self.

Together, we can foster meaningful and lasting change.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in San Francisco, CA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
