A deeply committed and adaptable Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, board-certified and grounded in patient-centered care, I bring a humble dedication to serving others. As a clinical preceptor and an International Medical Graduate physician, I am privileged to share my knowledge while continuing to learn from every patient and colleague. I take pride in delivering compassionate psychiatric care across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults and the elderly—addressing intricate needs such as substance use disorders, forensic psychiatry, and community-based mental health challenges. With a rich background spanning primary, acute, and long-term inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I strive to provide empathetic, bilingual support that empowers individuals and families. I aim to foster resilience and emotional well-being, leveraging my experience to guide those I serve through life’s complexities with care and understanding.
As a physician, I believe in honesty with my patients, so that they can make an informed decision. This is achieved by educating patients on Depression, and the risks, benefits and alternatives of treatment. I want my patients to feel empowered, because their symptoms leave them feeling powerless. One of my most important roles as a psychiatrist is to instill hope for my patients. Depression is treatable, and with TMS therapy, we have even more options for patients who have struggled. My job is to return patients back to functioning. This is how I would want to be treated, with honesty, dignity and compassion.
I specialize in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for the treatment of various psychiatric disorders. TMS is FDA-approved for Depression and is a non-invasive, non-medication alternative to traditional treatments. SuccessTMS helps patients achieve remission from depression and return back to their best lives.
