I earned a Masters degree in Clinical psychology in 2014 from Antioch University Los Angeles. I have since enjoyed working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. The areas that I hold the most experience in within my clinical work, are women's issues, relationships, issues in adolescence and individuals and families dealing with autism and other disorders. I believe a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on respect, trust, and honesty creates a healthy open space for people to grow.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Solana Beach, CA


Hi, and welcome! I am happy you are here to explore my offerings and a return to your wellbeing. A bit about me:

I am a board-certified, doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 17 years of experience spanning acute care, crisis response, psychiatric nursing, and public health.​ I offer integrative psychiatric care that blends evidence-based medicine with holistic, trauma-informed approaches. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, grief, life transitions, and healthcare-related burnout.

Our work together will feel collaborative, grounded, and deeply respectful of your story. You can expect a therapeutic relationship rooted in listening, presence, and curiosity—where your values and goals shape the course of treatment. I aim to create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal and thrive.

​

Outside of work, I love being active in nature, dancing, traveling, cooking, and spending time with my friends, family, and my beloved dog.
