I am a Board-Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in Arizona. I have been in this profession for 25 years. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my amazing family and friends. I enjoy travel and seeing new people, places and experiences. I love animals and am a devoted pet person. I care about the community regardless of race, nationality, identity, or religion. My goal is to empower all people to understand that mental health affects everyone. I have come to know that trauma has a significant influence on a patient's life and how trauma affects one's well-being and oftentimes leads to issues with addiction. I have extensive experience in working with depression, anxiety and substance use disorders. I believe in providing hope, respect, and compassion to those I treat. Most of my experience has been in medication management for these mental health issues.
