Welcome! I'm so glad you're here — reaching out for support is one of the most courageous steps you can take, and I want you to know you're in the right place.

I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a background in emergency medicine and a passion for holistic, comprehensive mental health care. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, depression, burnout, stress-related disorders, and a range of other mental health conditions — through a compassionate, whole-person approach that sees you as far more than a diagnosis.

Before becoming a psychiatric provider, I spent years working in the Emergency Department, where I witnessed the devastating impact of untreated mental illness firsthand — including crises involving self-harm and severe emotional distress. Those experiences shaped my deep commitment to providing consistent, proactive psychiatric care, helping people regain control of their lives before reaching a crisis point. You deserve support before things get to that place — and I'm here to provide it.

My style is collaborative, warm, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I believe healing looks different for everyone, which is why I tailor every care plan to your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. I combine medication management with mindfulness-based therapy, lifestyle coaching, and behavioral activation — supporting sleep, nutrition, movement, and emotional regulation. I also carefully evaluate for underlying medical contributors to mental health symptoms, such as thyroid imbalances, chronic pain, or medication side effects, because true wellness means looking at the full picture.

I offer convenient telehealth services across California, so quality mental health care is always within reach — from the comfort of your own home. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out, or simply ready to make a meaningful change, I'm here to listen without judgment, guide with expertise, and support you every step of the way.

You don't have to figure this out alone. Together, we can help you build a healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling life.

Now accepting new patients. Let's take that next step — together.
