Find a psychiatrist in California — covered by insurance

I am dedicated hispanic female immigrant with over 10 years of nursing experience and specialized training as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.

I believe that meaningful mental health care starts with trust, compassion, and genuine connection. Over the past 15 years, I have worked across a variety of healthcare settings, including trauma nursing, emergency nursing, and nurse leadership roles, caring for individuals and families during some of life's most challenging moments. These experiences have reinforced my belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, empathy, and respect.

My commitment to mental health care is also shaped by personal experience. Like many people, I have witnessed the impact of mental health challenges in my own life and among loved ones, which has deepened my understanding of the courage it takes to seek help. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable discussing difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.

Affordable and quality mental healthcare is essential in today's world. As a trauma specialist, I strive to provide the best assistance possible and work with many problems. I can help with even the most difficult cases.

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns. As a military spouse, I also understand the unique challenges that military members and their families often face.

Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who truly listens, my goal is to help you feel better, function more effectively, and move forward with confidence.

Hello! I am a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive international clinical, research, and academic experience.

I completed my psychiatry residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, following a Clinical Neuroscience of Mood Disorders Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. Earlier in my career, I practiced as a psychiatrist in Istanbul, Turkey, after completing my medical degree at Ankara University School of Medicine.

I have worked in behavioral health for over 15 years and have learned that listening to patients and understanding their unique goals is essential to achieving positive outcomes.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, or life's emotional challenges, please know you don’t have to carry this weight alone. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to helping you reclaim your life. My practice is built on a foundation of deep empathy and genuine care. I treat you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. Together, we will navigate your challenges using evidence-based treatments tailored to your unique story and goals. Your mental health journey deserves a safe space, and I am here to provide exactly that as we work toward your healing.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and my practice is dedicated to supporting teenage girls (ages 14+) and young women across California. Beyond my clinical background in specialized hospital units, I am someone who values a high-energy, balanced lifestyle. When I’m not in the hospital, you’ll likely find me rock climbing or weightlifting—activities that keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of resilience. I’m also a big sci-fi fan and love to geek out over a great movie or a deep-dive read. As a bilingual provider, I offer services in both English and Spanish, specializing in helping my patients manage ADHD, hormone related emotional mood swings, and binge eating tendencies.
