You may be an ideal client if you're struggling with PTSD, addiction (including gambling and substance use), ADHD, depression, anxiety, or mood instability and feel you need more than medication alone to regain stability. As a Hispanic/Latino PMHNP, I offer culturally grounded care for individuals feeling stuck in cycles of crisis or limited response to prior treatment. My team provides coordinated psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and collaboration with therapists or other providers as needed. We focus first on stabilization and safety, then on long-term symptom management and recovery to support lasting improvement.
With 10 years of psychiatric nursing experience in inpatient military, addiction, and acute care settings, I provide PMHNP support through assessment, medication management, and stabilization. I work collaboratively with clients navigating trauma, mood disorders, and substance use, grounded in safety, clarity, and respect to support meaningful progress.
Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, to fit your life. Whether you’re in crisis or seeking ongoing support, we’re here to help you take the next step and reach out when you’re ready. Care is collaborative, respectful, and focused on your goals.
