About Us

I am a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatric Mental Health (PMHNP) and Adult Gerontology Acute Care (AGACNP). I am dedicated to working with individuals to achieve emotional wellness through personalized care.

In my PMHNP role, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management tailored to each patient's needs. My clinical focus includes management of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, panic attacks, stress, trauma, PTSD, insomnia, emotional regulation, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.

In my AGACNP role, I provide comprehensive management of chronic health conditions, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), thyroid disorders, and metabolic dysfunction. My approach emphasizes the connection between mental and physical health, delivering care that supports the whole person.

I apply a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach while ensuring patients feel comfortable and actively involved in their treatment. I see patients throughout Texas, Arizona, California, and New Mexico via telehealth, telepsychiatry, and online psychiatrist services.

I graduated from Texas Woman's University with a BSN; University of Calgary, Canada, MSN; Grand Canyon University with an AGACNP; and Walden University with a PMHNP. Altogether, I have been in the healthcare profession for 18 years, working across hospitals, long-term care, nursing homes, and home health services. I have cared for pediatric, young adult, adult, and geriatric populations, and have experience as a hospitalist and in internal medicine with oncology patients.

For leisure, I enjoy swimming, gardening, listening to, and dancing to Afrobeats music.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner committed to helping individuals achieve emotional wellness, balance, and an improved quality of life. Through compassionate, accessible, and personalized tele-psychiatric care, I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.

With over 17 years of combined experience as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner, I bring extensive clinical knowledge and a patient-centered approach to care. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Prairie View A&M University, a Master of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman's University, and post-graduate certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Since 2012, I have practiced as a Family Nurse Practitioner and have gained comprehensive experience caring for patients across diverse healthcare settings.

I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of various mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, and sleep-related concerns. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with supportive, empathetic care tailored to each individual's unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I believe in collaborative treatment planning that respects each patient's values, preferences, and pace of progress.

In addition to psychiatric care, I also provide management of chronic health conditions, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), thyroid disorders, and metabolic dysfunction. My goal is to support the connection between mental and physical wellness through a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care.

Outside of clinical practice, I enjoy walking, singing, dancing, watching movies, and spending meaningful time with family and loved ones.
