About our providers

Welcome to Life Balance Health!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My journey in healthcare began with 5 years of experience in psychiatric inpatient hospital settings, including 3 years as a hospital supervisor at the largest psychiatric inpatient hospital in Northern California. During this time, I treated adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients facing complex mental health challenges.

In addition, I bring years of expertise from psychiatric emergency departments, crisis stabilization units, and medical emergency settings. After earning my certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I began providing psychiatric services and medication management to individuals with moderate to severe mental illness at a federally qualified health center in Northern California.

Beyond clinical practice, I am an Assistant Professor of Nursing at a local university, where I have the privilege of teaching and mentoring future nurses about mental health care.

Prior to transitioning to healthcare, I gained 13 years of experience in complex civil litigation, and worked as a paralegal at some of Northern California's top law firms. This diverse professional background has shaped my ability to approach challenges with diligence, empathy, and precision.

At Life Balance Health, I am committed to helping individuals achieve stability and wellness by offering personalized care tailored to their unique needs.
