My path to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner was not the usual one. I was a junior high and high school special and regular teacher for 22 years. Eight of those years were spent teaching adolescents with emotional and behavioral disabilities. I do truly love working with teens.
Though I loved teaching, there came a time for change. As a registered nurse I worked in local hospitals as a medical-surgical nurse, a travel nurse, and finally a drug and alcohol detox nurse.
Additionally, I have a lot of family experience with ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders. I have been on the inside and understand the impact mental health issues have on both the individual and the family.
I don’t believe in just prescribing medication. Medication helps when appropriate, but therapy, learning strategies, and changing negative self-talk are just as important. Psychiatry blends together teaching, problem-solving, and listening in a way that I am able to help people become their best selves.
Hi, my name is Luis and I am a board certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
I have been providing outpatient psychiatric services including medication management and psychotherapy in Phoenix for the past 5 years. I was born in Texas, raised in Mexico and have lived in Chicago and Phoenix each for ten years. I am also bilingual in Spanish.
My geographic travels have allowed me to interact with different cultures and diverse populations. I believe this has tied into my practice of understanding and treating the individual person.
My approach to mental health involves understanding the person as a combination of biological, psychological, and social health. I have a passion and am very interested in not only helping reduce symptoms but also focusing on improving wellness. My vision is to promote recovery and improve the quality of life from ages 4 to 94.
When not learning more about psychiatry I enjoy family time and outdoor activities.

I take great pride in providing the best care to my patients and look forward to helping you meet your mental healthcare needs.

This experience is inclusive of Emergency room, Trauma, and Intensive care as a Registered Nurse, addiction medicine, primary care, Urgent care, community health, infectious disease, Psychiatry/ behavioral health, and pediatrics, among other subspecialties as a nurse practitioner.
I discovered my passion for mental health during my work in emergency departments nationwide, working as a community health nurse practitioner with the homeless community in South Florida, and as a pediatric urgent care nurse practitioner treating unaccompanied minors in Texas. In these positions, I was made fully aware of the significant presence of individuals with unaddressed trauma, and mental health conditions due to the stigma, and limited access to treatment.

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.
