Find a psychiatrist in Florida — covered by insurance

Hello! I work with adult clients, ages 18-64 years old, who have medication management needs for their mental health conditions. Clients should have appropriate acuity in the mild-to-moderate range for telehealth care. Certain conditions or symptom severity levels may need a more intensive care setting than telehealth. Same week appointments available.

We occasionally battle over life's obstacles, possibly feeling hopeless or uncertain of how to go. Perhaps you're experiencing mental distress, a difficult transition, or simply a feeling that something is amiss in your life. Looking for help is a step of great courage, and it means that you feel you cannot do it alone. A Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner can assist you in managing life's challenges and improving your coping skills. No matter how serious, frequent, or intense your issues are, my goal is to comprehend your worries, assist you in thinking through the root causes, aid you make better decisions, and provide you more control over undesirable thoughts and behaviors.

I am a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and Medicine–Surgical Nursing, with over 20 years of experience caring for patients across hospital and outpatient settings. I graduated from the University of Miami and served as a Cardiac Unit Head Nurse, where I developed a deep understanding of how stress, inflammation, and physical health influence emotional well-being. I also hold a Master’s degree in Education, reflecting my dedication to service and my passion for helping patients and families improve their health through knowledge and collaboration.

My call to start an outpatient psychiatry practice came from a desire to promote comprehensive, whole-person assessments that bridge mental and physical health. I’m passionate about helping people connect the dots between mind and body, especially when managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Many of my patients come to me feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking or stress-related symptoms. Together, we work on regaining calm, control, and clarity through therapy, lifestyle balance, and self-awareness.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My dual certification allows me to approach care holistically — understanding both the psychiatric and medical factors that impact overall wellness.

I have experience working with individuals experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, behavioral concerns, and severe mental illness. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, respectful, and individualized. Every client’s story is unique, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. My goal is not only symptom relief but helping you build stability, insight, and long-term wellness.
