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!
