I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner who cares for adolescents and adults. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I completed my RN residency at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX, then spent over eight years caring for cancer patients. My experience as an NP during the pandemic deepened my understanding of how mental and physical health are closely connected. These experiences inspired my focus on psychiatric nursing and evidence-based, personalized care. I take time to listen to each person’s story and help create realistic, empowering treatment plans that promote balance, clarity, and healing.
