I am a dual board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Adult Geriatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGNP) located in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida. I attended the University of Miami and the University of California Irvine. My goal is to provide patients with a convenient, safe, and stigma free environment for psychiatric treatment. I offer treatment for a variety of psychiatric disorders including depression/anxiety, treatment resistant depression, insomnia, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and alcohol/substance use disorder.
All of my patients have an easy and convenient way to contact me between appointments should they have any questions or concerns that arise. I am very responsive to patient's needs.
I am currently accepting new patients, virtual and in-person visits offered with flexible and fast scheduling and on occasion same day availability. Call or send me an email!

Alexa is phenomenal. She is not only knowledgeable, but she is extremely compassionate & empathetic- something we need in mental health prescribers. I refer plenty of my clients to her when they are looking for medication management. They rave about her!
