About My Clients

I believe your zip code and your paycheck shouldn't limit your access to high quality mental health care in New Mexico. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner with nearly a decade of experience, I offer 100% virtual visits so you can meet with me from anywhere in NM. I work with adult clients (18+) from diverse backgrounds and address a wide variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, gender issues, bipolar disorder, and psychosis.

My Background and Approach

I do not prescribe controlled substances.
