I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in Arizona, currently accepting patients ages 13-64.  While I treat a wide spectrum of mental health conditions, my patients are normal people whose lives have been complicated by something keeping them from living their best life. In addition to treating a variety of mental health issues,  I have a special interest in working with teens, young adults, LGBTQ+ populations and women's mental health.

 

My approach to mental health is holistic, using a combination of talk therapy, mindfulness techniques, lifestyle modifications, and medications to target symptoms if desired or needed. Although a short-term goal may be to manage your symptoms, the ultimate goal is to find a balance so that you can achieve optimal overall health and live your best life!  I encourage all my patients to be active participants in their journey to emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being and will work collaboratively to create a plan of care that is considerate and respectful of your concerns, beliefs, vulnerabilities, and wishes.

​

I pride myself in providing culturally-sensitive, compassionate, respectful, inclusive, nonjudgmental, and evidence-based care. I am committed to developing empathetic and long-lasting relationships with my clients as well as creating safe and shared spaces with their family members while encouraging them in their journey to emotional and physical wellbeing. 

​

I looking forward to meeting you soon.
