Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Compassionate care for PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use. Empowering healing and wellness through evidence-based, personalized support.
With over 50 years of experience in psychiatric nursing, I specialize in helping individuals navigate PTSD and trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I’ve worked extensively with veterans, women, the Hispanic community, and underserved populations, offering care rooted in empathy and understanding. I use approaches like CBT, EMDR, and mind-body bridging to help you overcome obstacles, rediscover your strengths, and build a healthier, more fulfilling life. Whether you're dealing with past trauma, facing mental health struggles, or seeking clarity and growth, my goal is to empower you to heal and thrive in your unique way. Together, we’ll chart a path toward wellness—step by step, moment by moment. Change is possible, and you’re never alone in the journey. Let’s work toward a brighter future.
