ADHD can make even the simplest tasks feel scattered and frustrating—leaving you questioning your capabilities and constantly trying to “get it together.” Add the layer of chronic illness or complex medical issues, and daily life can feel like a never-ending balancing act. These overlapping struggles can quietly chip away at your energy, confidence, and sense of purpose. I hold a master’s in nursing from UT Arlington (2022) and earned my PMHNP from California Baptist University (2024), and I specialize in treating ADHD, co-occurring medical conditions, and women’s mental health through a holistic lens.
My approach to medication management is collaborative, thoughtful, and integrative—centered on understanding your whole story, not just treating symptoms. I believe that psychiatric care is most effective when it honors the connection between mind and body, and when treatment adapts to your real life, not the other way around.
You don’t need to power through alone. If you’re ready to explore a more sustainable way forward, I invite you to reach out. Let’s find what healing and relief can look like—on your terms.
