How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

Hello! I'm a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with a passion for providing comprehensive care to patients with a range of health conditions. With years of experience in primary care, I've honed my skills in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing complex health issues, always with a focus on personalized treatment plans. My journey in healthcare has led me to embrace telemedicine, using platforms like Spruce to ensure continuous patient care, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe in leveraging technology for efficient communication and charting through systems like Elation, ensuring that your medical information is accurate and secure. As an Adjunct Faculty Site Supervisor at Grand Canyon University until January 2023, I've guided nursing students on their path to excellence, emphasizing the importance of a strong patient-provider relationship. My commitment to mental health is evident from my time at Cerebral, where I conducted Telehealth sessions and prescribed treatments for conditions such as ADHD and anxiety disorders. My experience extends from primary care to pain management, weight management, diabetes education, and to specialized care in transplant units at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where I collaborated with teams on post-surgical management for transplant recipients. I'm proud to have worked alongside Dr. Jeff Toll since August 2021 as a Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care/Family Medicine. Together, we strive for excellence in patient care coordination and communication. Your well-being is my top priority. Let's work together towards your health goals with care plans tailored just for you. *Specialties •Weight Loss •Pain Management •Diabetology •Internal Medicine •Nursing •Physical Medicine & •Rehabilitation •Urgent Care *Conditions treated •Weight loss •Chronic back pain •Neck pain •Joint pain •Nerve pain •Headaches •Post-surgical pain •Cancer pain •Arthritis pain •Fibromyalgia •Complex regional pain syndrome •High blood sugar •Unexplained weight loss •Slow wound healing •Fatigue •Tingling in hands/feet •Hypertension •Diabetes management •Diabetes •Medication administration •Injections •Health assessment •Postoperative care •Patient education •Muscle pain •Spinal cord injury •Chronic pain •Mobility issues •Sore throat •UTIs •Ear infections •Asthma •Allergies •Rashes •Life style change •Obesity •Overweight *Treatment philosophy I work with you to determine your goals and treatment comfortability.

Welcome! I am a Filipina-Peruvian board-certified Licensed Professional Counselor, and I specialize in intergenerational trauma and understanding how trauma and stress affect the body. To better understand what your body is signaling, I integrate modalities in my practice such as mindfulness-based therapy, somatic techniques, and trauma-conscious approaches. This is an impactful approach to better understanding big and uncomfortable emotions, what the body is communicating, and those teeny, tiny voices of intuition telling us something is off. My goal is to help you begin the process of understanding and connecting with yourself on a deeper level. We’ll work on building trust between your head and heart and explore all the things about your life - cultural identity, relationships, behaviors, values, feelings, and belief systems. Together, we’ll create a foundation that empowers you to feel more integrated and aligned. Specialties Mental Health Conditions treated Relationship issues Trauma Anxiety ADHD Depression Treatment philosophy Whether you may be experiencing BIG feelings, interpersonal struggles, or wanting to better understand yourself, I am here to support you using a collaborative approach. Through a guided process and integration of mindfulness-based and trauma-conscious approaches, you and I will talk through your lived experiences. Some of these discussions will give you a sense of joy, sadness, frustration, anxiousness, pride, and excitement. As we dig and uncover these stories in a safe space, we often begin a discovery of your strengths and wisdom - from a present you and intergenerational standpoint. This experience is almost like when your body constricts and caves into a discomfort and, once ready to release, it expands and grows. Treatment approach Culturally Sensitive Trauma-Focused Emotionally Focused Mindfulness-Based(MBCT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) Practice description As we get curious about your goals, your story, your values, and your beliefs systems, we process through patterns about how you have survived & protected yourself up until this point and how these patterns affect you and your relationships (familial, platonic, and/or romantic) - looking within ourselves and connecting it to finding our space and belonging in the collective. Throughout this journey, my role is to support you in feeling safe, in a space that prioritizes inclusivity, open-mindedness, and authenticity.
