About
I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard, and as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I combine evidence-based care with genuine compassion to support each person’s unique journey toward mental wellness.
I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I have 6 years of experience in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning across outpatient, community mental health, and telepsychiatry settings. I hold an MSN in psychiatric-mental health. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and adjustment difficulties. Many clients seek relief from persistent symptoms and greater stability, while others want a safe space to explore their experiences and develop coping strategies.
My goal is to partner with each client to create a personalized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication management, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support. I believe in a collaborative, holistic approach that honors each person's unique story while empowering them to achieve their mental health goals and improve their quality of life.
I want you to know that your feelings matter—and I truly see where you're coming from. I understand how important it is to feel supported, and I'm here to help you take the next step with confidence. If you're ready, I'd love to connect so we can explore how we can work together to make things easier for you.

Anxiety disorders can look different from person to person but some symptoms are usually common in people with anxiety. These include:
The professionals at Thriveworks in Long Beach, CA are experts in mental health issues and can assist you in reducing your anxiety.
Various kinds of treatment for anxiety can empower you to manage and control your symptoms. Prescription medications are sometimes used, as are various forms of talk therapy, where a client works with a mental health professional to identify and resolve issues causing emotional distress.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used types of talk therapy for anxiety and centers around the idea that our thoughts affect how we feel and behave. Working to reframe and change these thoughts can therefore have an effect on our behavior. Your therapist will teach you strategies for dealing with your “all or nothing” thinking, for example, so that over time you can recognize and manage these thought patterns yourself.
Other types of therapy include exposure therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychotherapy. You may also learn relaxation techniques and coping skills, such as deep breathing and meditation exercises, to keep anxiety symptoms more manageable. Your provider will work with you to customize a treatment plan that is right for you.
At Thriveworks, we accept many different insurance plans—so if your anxiety is getting in the way of your overall health and well-being, you don’t have to fight it alone. Reach out to Thriveworks in Long Beach, CA to begin your journey to a healthier life today.
