My website

I am a dual Board Certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatric-Mental Health and Adult/Geriatric Practice. I've navigated a diverse path within the healthcare system, spanning numerous areas of medical practice. From inpatient to outpatient settings, I've overseen the care of adults dealing with multiple chronic illnesses and mental health concerns. I have a master’s degree with Adult Geriatric Nurse Practitioner specialty at California State University of Long Beach, and post graduate Psychiatric-Mental Health Specialty at Johns Hopkins University.

I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy for adults and the elderly. Services include mental health concerns, substance use disorders (SUD), and Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD). Available in outpatient settings, ALFs, Dementia Care Unit, and Residential and IOP/PHP programs.

I’m here to offer the care and support you deserve. Your well-being matters and finding the right help can truly make a difference. Please don’t hesitate to reach out so we can discuss how I can assist you on your path to better mental health.

I work with clients who may be struggling with substance use disorder, ADHD, depression, anxiety, or BPSD. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Motivational Interviewing

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) in my practice. CBT helps you change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while MI addresses ambivalence and boosts motivation. In your first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and determine the best approach to support your progress, tailoring these methods to your unique needs.
