I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who takes a holistic approach to treating patients. I recognize that people are more than of their parts. Maximizing wellness is the goal when working with clients, and to this end, exploration into complex biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors is important to gain a full view of the client's needs. Clients often seek mental health treatment to alleviate distress. It is incumbent on the provider to work with clients to uncover sources of distress and develop actionable means to empower clients to improve their lives.

I have been practicing as a Nurse Practitioner since 2005 in the Orlando area. I have worked in the areas of Women's Health, Primary Care, Behavioral Neurology, and Psychiatry. I draw on my experience to get to know my patients holistically to therefore develop a plan of care that works for each individual. I've had difficulty finding Psychiatric providers for my patients through the years and for this reason, as well as my interest in behavior and psychopharmacology, I sought additional education and national certification in Psychiatry.

My approach is based on integrative psychiatry, which uses medications, therapy and complementary medicine to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I address the combined impact of sleep, lifestyle, relationships, nutrition and chronic medical conditions on well-being, and use cutting edge tools like genetic testing to guide personalized treatment with medication and supplements. I consider the patient’s cultural background in my assessments and I can provide treatment in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. My goal is to help my patients create lasting changes and build vitality, resilience and purpose in life.
