I am board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth services throughout California. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, respectful, and tailored to your unique needs. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I often meet people who have been carrying a lot more than they let others see. If you are pushing through anxiety, depression, stress, or emotional overwhelm — doing “well enough” on the outside but feeling exhausted, stuck, or disconnected on the inside, I am here to help you to collaborate on a path forward that feels manageable and hopeful.
