I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 20 years of experience in general and mental health. I diagnose and treat mental disorders with a sense of comfort and trust. My practice combines the best of psychiatric and nursing care and focuses on the best treatment for your general well-being. I offer unique individualized care to make patients feel valued and supported in the promotion of their mental,emotional, and social well-being. I provide the highest-quality mental service care in a culturally sensitive, and empathetic manner using a compassionate, and comprehensive evidence-based approach.

I worked as a board-certified psychiatric nurse with adults for 15 years in various settings before becoming a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). In 2024, I completed my Doctorate in Nursing Practice and received my NP104 for Independent Practice as a PMHNP in February 2026. My experience as an RN includes working in adult psychiatric inpatient units, emergency rooms, and electroconvulsive therapy departments in several major healthcare facilities in the Los Angeles area, including Cedars Sinai, UCLA, Huntington Hospital, and Glendale Adventist Medical Center. As a PMHNP-BC, I worked for Tarzana Treatment Centers and outpatient psychiatric practices. In our first session together, we will start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. We will work towards establishing some short-term and long-term goals for treatment and treatment outcomes. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
