I didn't start my career in psychiatry—I started in pain management and rheumatology. For several years, I treated patients with chronic pain and autoimmune conditions, but I kept seeing the same pattern: my patients weren't just struggling physically. They were depressed, anxious, and exhausted by the emotional weight of chronic illness. While I could treat their bodies, I felt limited in addressing the psychological suffering that was just as real and debilitating.
​
That's what brought me to psychiatry—I wanted to treat the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. Today, much of my practice focuses on older adults managing multiple chronic conditions alongside mental health concerns. I also work with patients and families navigating cognitive changes and memory concerns. My background gives me unique insight into the challenges of living with chronic illness, complex medication interactions, and the importance of coordinated care.

As a dual board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner, I provide comprehensive medication management that considers the intersection of physical and mental health. Originally from Los Angeles, I've called Las Vegas home since 2019. When I'm not working, I enjoy staying physically active, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and spending time with my family.
