About
As a nurse practitioner who has spent years walking beside individuals through vulnerable moments, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe, valued, and understood.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of nursing experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I work with teens and adults, and my approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, culturally sensitive space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to work toward your goals. I focus on helping clients build stability and confidence.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. My approach includes evidence-based medication management along with cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and a calm, patient-centered style to guide treatment.
Reaching out for support is a brave step, and you deserve care that feels safe, steady, and compassionate. I’m here to listen, guide, and walk with you as you move toward healing. When you’re ready, I would be honored to support you on your path forward.

I am committed to creating a therapeutic space where you feel genuinely supported, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting emotional well-being.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 7 years of experience, and I am qualified to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for adolescents and adults. I specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and bipolar disorder. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric care with supportive guidance, helping clients feel seen, heard, and empowered as whole individuals rather than a collection of symptoms.
I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from New Mexico State University. I use evidence-based treatment, prescribing up-to-date psychiatric medications alongside lifestyle recommendations such as nutrition, exercise, and stress-management strategies. I believe deeply in the mind-body-spirit connection and caring for the whole person.
I know how brave it is to admit you need help, and I honor the strength it takes to begin this process. If you allow me to be part of your journey, I will support you with compassion and collaboration as you work toward becoming the healthiest version of yourself. No matter your struggle, it is never too late to change your course.
