How can you provide care remotely?
I offer remote healthcare services that are designed to be both convenient and comprehensive. Through telehealth, I can conduct virtual consultations, provide follow-ups, and manage chronic conditions just as effectively as in-person visits. This allows me to deliver care that fits seamlessly into your schedule, whether you need a routine checkup, advice on managing a chronic illness, or support for weight loss. My goal is to ensure that you receive the same high-quality care, education, and personalized attention remotely as you would during an in-person visit.
Hello! I'm a dedicated healthcare provider with over 14 years of experience. I specialize in delivering top-notch care in both urgent and primary care settings. My journey in healthcare began with a strong educational foundation, culminating in a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Jacksonville State University. Throughout my career, I've been committed to providing comprehensive care for all ages. I handle everything from routine checkups and preventive care to managing chronic illnesses and treating acute conditions. I strive to make every visit as comfortable and supportive as possible, whether I'm performing a simple screening test or a more complex procedure like a laceration repair. I also believe in the power of education. I love teaching and motivating future healthcare professionals. I've trained many of my colleagues in essential skills, such as Basic Life Support and venipuncture. Currently, I provide care at Primary Hydration and Wellness. I aim to offer friendly, convenient, and high-quality service to everyone who steps through our doors. My goal is to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and improve your overall well-being. Thank you for considering me for your healthcare needs. I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey!

How can you provide care remotely?
I take a holistic, patient-centered approach that goes beyond symptom management. I consider your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, working collaboratively to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. My care is culturally competent, especially for first- and second-generation immigrants navigating acculturation challenges. I empower my patients to embrace self-acceptance, heal from generational trauma, and build confidence. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or life transitions, I am here to guide you toward balance and fulfillment.
Welcome to my world of holistic psychiatry and mental wellness! I’m Maria, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), dedicated to guiding individuals towards vibrant mental and physical health. I help adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and other mental disorders to regain their vitality and centeredness, create a better understanding of self, and achieve closer relationships with others. I specialize in working with women facing major life transitions and events such as divorce, adoption, birth, moving, severe illness, and death in the family. While I work with patients of all backgrounds, I am especially equipped to offer culturally competent care to first or second-generation immigrants struggling with issues of acculturation and self-acceptance. I support patients in discovering their self-worth and confidence while fostering a sense of belonging by working through their generational traumas and thought patterns that no longer serve them. My holistic approach to care considers patients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we’ll create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, self-care rituals, nutrition protocols, and exercise plans. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), I take a holistic approach: I consider patients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. I prioritize overall wellness, not just symptom management. I empower patients to actively participate in their mental and physical health journey. I reject the notion of a “one size fits all” approach to mindcare and wellness. My collaborative, personalized treatment plans are created with respect to your values, concerns, trepidations, and belief systems. Let’s create a personalized action plan as unique as you are!
