Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C, PMHNP, MBA) whose clinical approach emphasizes compassionate, patient-centered, and trauma-informed care. I prioritize understanding the whole person and often begin by exploring underlying medical contributors before addressing psychiatric symptoms, integrating principles of functional medicine into my practice. I provide care in both English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility and comfort for bilingual and Spanish-speaking patients.
With 22 years of experience in healthcare and over 10 years as a practicing provider, I specialize in integrated behavioral health, primary care, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management. My extensive clinical background allows me to identify connections between physical and mental health, supporting comprehensive and individualized treatment plans.
I earned my MBA early in my career while working in healthcare operations and system management, an experience that strengthened my understanding of how to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. I later completed my Master of Science in Nursing with dual certification as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children and husband, especially watching my kids play baseball. I love exploring new restaurants, traveling, and embracing opportunities that blend family, culture, and community connection into everyday life.
