Welcome! I'm a dedicated mental health professional with a passion for supporting individuals through their toughest moments.

Similarly, at the Counseling Service Center, I provided guidance to individuals navigating court-mandated programs, covering vital topics such as domestic violence and anger management. Beyond my professional roles, I believe in giving back. Volunteering at Gracepoint Wellness and the Counseling Service Center has allowed me to offer pro bono therapy, making a difference in many lives.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner fostering care across the life span fully licensed in Colorado, Florida, California, and Oregon. I provide initial evaluation and ongoing management of psychiatric medications, supportive counseling, health education, ketamine evaluations, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I believe in treating the whole mind, body, and spirit. I feel that it is vital to provide support structuring lives in a manageable way that allows treating the root cause of underlying symptoms-working together developing a treatment plan that we are both comfortable with. I believe strong relationships are the key to a successful healing process. I want to truly get to know you so I may provide optimal health care. This is why my appointments are longer than those typically offered by other mental health providers. In my first year at Maryville University, I developed a deep interest in psychedelic medicine and its healing powers. I continued my training within the ketamine space after school until I was able to incorporate it into my practice in an effort to heal deep-seeded traumatic wounds of others. It is my hope that I can continue to help many others heal in a similar fashion in order to live joyful lives to their fullest potential whether that it through ketamine or psychiatric medications.

I'm a mix of all sorts of cultural influences - hence my fascination with languages and helping my clients adapt to change. My mother tongue is English, but I also grew up speaking Spanish, with my years in Buenos Aires leaving me with an unmistakably Argentinian accent (which other Spanish- speakers tend to sometimes 'lovingly mock'). My European side is thanks to over 30 years spent living and working in France, where I picked up not only an incurable love for lavender crème brûlée and other deliciously fattening foods, but the ability to provide therapy in fluent French. All in all, this means that immigrants, foreigners, expats; you're my people!
