Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

I am a dedicated and compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over ten years of nursing experience across intensive care, emergency medicine, and mental health settings. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of California, San Francisco, where I specialized as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My training at UCSF emphasized evidence-based practice, clinical rigor, and a holistic understanding of mental health across the lifespan.

Throughout my career, I have provided comprehensive psychiatric care in both inpatient and outpatient environments, treating a wide range of mental health and substance use disorders. My experience includes assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning for adults, adolescents, and children. I approach care with a trauma-informed, patient-centered lens, recognizing that each individual’s experiences, strengths, and challenges are unique.

I am especially passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults, and I find deep fulfillment in supporting patients during these critical developmental stages. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, understood, and respected. My goal is to empower individuals and families with the tools, education, and support they need to build resilience, improve functioning, and move toward lasting emotional well-being.
