PMHNP
Female
I am a bilingual psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, including seven years providing advanced psychiatric care in acute inpatient settings. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Rutgers University, where I received specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for the management of anxiety. My professional experience spans work with diverse populations, including a strong background in pediatric psychiatry, and I have recently expanded my practice to include outpatient services.
My treatment philosophy is integrative, blending evidence-based psychiatric care with therapeutic approaches that address both the biological and psychological dimensions of mental health. I prioritize cognitive behavioral therapy, culturally sensitive care, and trauma-informed principles to provide holistic and personalized treatment.
In my practice, I create a safe and collaborative environment where each client is respected and heard. I believe in honoring cultural background and lived experience, understanding that mental health is shaped by identity, history, and personal values. My approach empowers clients with practical tools, compassionate support, and insight to navigate challenges, manage symptoms, and build resilience.
Whether working with children in acute settings or adults in outpatient care, my goal is to provide treatment that is effective, affirming, and transformative — helping clients achieve lasting wellness and a deeper sense of self-understanding.
