I am board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and licensed in the State of California (95024411) to diagnose psychiatric-mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide psychotherapy accordingly. I received my undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) and doctoral degree (Juris Doctor) from University of Sto. Tomas and my advanced practice degree (Master of Science in Nursing-Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practictioner) from Walden University.Since 2004, I have worked extensively in various inpatient acute care environments in Medical as well as Behavioral Psychiatric Inpatient Units covering Adolescents, Acute Adults, Geriatric Med-Psych, and Psychiatric Intensive Care centered on the significantly impacted, underserved population.Through the years, I have cultivated an exquisite skill set and profound philosophy centered on providing compassionate and empathetic care to a diverse pool of patients grappling with various psychiatric and …dual diagnoses, and behavioral health challenges. My passion to help individuals identify the incapacitating beliefs that are hindering them back in life and resolve how to move past them has been influential in forging a path towards an increased sense of power, mastery and triumph.I specialize in working with patients who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance use and ADHD. My method is grounded on a harm reduction model, drawing trauma-informed care and a whole person focus when deciding treatment alternatives. The care I render is always client-centered and non-judgmental.I welcome you.
