Here to Help You Heal
Board-certified as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I specialize in anxiety and depression for adults, including Spanish-speaking patients who want to be seen and understood in their first language.
My ideal patients are those looking for relief from overwhelming worry, persistent sadness, low energy, or panic so they can feel better, function well, and enjoy their lives again. They want a clinician who listens, explains options clearly, and builds a plan with you, not for you.
That’s where I come in. I believe in creating a safe, respectful, and collaborative space where every patient feels truly heard and supported. Whether you're taking your first step or continuing your journey, I'm here to help you reduce the burden of anxiety and depression so you can feel more like yourself again — with greater peace, energy, and hope for the future.
My Approach to Care
I specialize in evidence-based medication management for anxiety and depression, ensuring compassionate, collaborative, and culturally responsive care at all times. During our sessions, I take the time to truly listen, explain treatment options clearly in English or Spanish, and work with you to find the right plan for your lifestyle and goals.
I'm passionate about helping you feel heard and empowered. This means combining medication when helpful with practical strategies so you can regain hope, energy, and balance. My style is warm, direct, and practical, and tailored to your unique needs, preferences, and goals. You can always expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where moving forward feels possible.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner began with a deep desire to help people who silently struggle with anxiety and depression. Having witnessed the impact of untreated mental health challenges in my community and family, I pursued advanced training to provide quality, culturally sensitive care.
These experiences deepened my commitment to accessible and compassionate mental health care, especially for Spanish-speaking adults. Now, I bring patience, cultural understanding, and clinical expertise to every patient I work with.
Personal Interests
When I’m not working, I love spending quality time with my family and my dog, Kilo. A good mystery or thriller is never far from my nightstand, and as a foodie, I'm always on the lookout for a new restaurant to try. Yoga helps me stay grounded and balanced. All of these activities together help me stay recharged so I can show up fully present for my patients.
