About Me

The Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner brings a broad and diverse clinical background to her psychiatric practice, shaped by years of experience in family medicine, emergency care, acute inpatient units, and community-based health settings. She has worked with individuals across all ages and cultural backgrounds, providing compassionate and evidence-based care in high-acuity environments such as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Olive View–UCLA Medical Center, and West Hills Hospital. Her work in these settings strengthened her ability to recognize complex behavioral presentations, manage psychiatric crises, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support patient safety and stabilization. She is fluent in both English and Spanish and has provided care to diverse patient populations throughout Los Angeles for nearly a decade. Her commitment to cultural sensitivity, patient advocacy, and holistic mental health care continues to guide her approach as a psychiatric provider.
