I am a triple board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Certified Nurse-Midwife with over 30 years of hands-on patient care across many outpatient settings. My education has been extensive: I earned my PMHNP post-masters certificate from the University of California, San Francisco, my FNP post-masters certificate from Sonoma State University, and my MSN in Women's Health Care and Midwifery from the University of New Mexico. I also pursued doctoral studies in prenatal and perinatal psychology with a focus on trauma repair at Santa Barbara Graduate Institute.
I specialize in whole-person mental health care for teens, offering thorough evaluations and thoughtful medication management. Rooted in trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing, I meet each teen exactly where they are. In a warm, judgment-free space, teens feel heard, valued, and empowered to build confidence and grow into who they want to become.
Difficult seasons come at any age, whether you're a teenager or an older adult, and reaching out isn't always easy. This is a welcoming, nonjudgmental place to work through worry, mood swings, or feeling like an outsider. You don't need to have all the answers or face this on your own. Connect with me when you're ready, and we'll take the first step.

Types of Therapy

  • Motivational Interviewing
"
I use trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy with teens, adults, and geriatric patients. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you in and build a tailored approach. Through motivational interviewing, I help you find your own reasons for change, while trauma-informed care helps you feel safe. With medication management, I help you build resilience.
