About

Many suffer in silence, but I want you to know let your voice be heard. The negative stigma surrounding mental health has prevented countless individuals from seeking the help they need. As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I understand these challenges. As someone who grew up in South-Central Los Angeles, I am also acutely aware of the stereotypes and the lack of available resources. I am here to be a champion, dedicated to helping those who seek support move in the right direction.

With over 24 years of experience in Mental Health and 20 years in correctional nursing, my passion, expertise, grassroots efforts, and work in the mental health trenches are deeply ingrained in who I am. I am proud to have dedicated much of my career to helping and being a voice for the most vulnerable – the unheard individuals who simply need someone to listen. This is where my heart lies. My expertise and passion for promoting greater mental health outcomes in vulnerable populations have been the driving force behind my book, Greater Good.

As an author, my background in treating the whole person has been instrumental in my ability to connect with patients and facilitate their engagement in successful treatment plans. Beyond holistic care, I've observed that many struggle with moving forward and learning from past mistakes. It's as if they become stuck, unable to let go.

In my book, Greater Good, you can journey with me through life's ups and downs. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of learning from mistakes, growing from life lessons, and moving forward without dwelling on trivial matters. Reading Greater Good will equip you to engage in self-assessment, self-reflection, and to navigate life without getting bogged down by the small things. As you delve into Greater Good, you will likely find solace in the realization that while we are unique individuals, we share many common life struggles. My book offers glimpses into my own experiences, but more importantly, it encourages you to embark on a personal exploration of the life lessons that resonate with you. Acknowledge these lessons and embrace them; it will be a blessing. Your greater good lies in growing through your current challenges.
