I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) beginning my career as an ER nurse in 2007. I specialize in helping adults and teens with ADHD understand their symptoms, improve focus and organization, and build confidence through ADHD evaluations and medication management.

Many of my clients are busy professionals, parents, and students who struggle with inattention, restlessness, or feeling “stuck.” My goal is to help you develop clarity, structure, and balance so you can feel more in control of your life. I also treat anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, which often overlap with ADHD, using an integrated and evidence-based approach.

I provide telehealth psychiatric care throughout California — including Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, the Bay Area, Modesto, Fresno, and Southern California — through Grace Mental Health Resources, offering accessible, compassionate, and individualized treatment from the comfort of your home.

With over 17 years of experience as a mental health provider working with diverse populations facing serious mental illnesses and life challenges. My extensive work in crisis stabilization units, as well as inpatient and outpatient settings, has given me a clear understanding of how resource scarcity negatively impacts patient outcomes. These insights drive my unwavering commitment to delivering compassionate, holistic, and patient-centered care. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I specialize in medication management for conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders. I am focused on empowering patients to restore their emotional well-being through a supportive and comprehensive approach. I am in the process of launching a remote, private telehealth practice via the Headway platform. My mission is to provide accessible care that emphasizes holistic healing, hope, and long-term wellness.
