I am originally from Puerto Rico, but I have called New Mexico home since 2018. Since moving to New Mexico, I completed my Associate Degree in Nursing from CNM/Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UNM in 2021 and completed my studies in Doctor of Nursing Practice-Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from NMSU in August 2025.

I have spent most of my career working with patients experiencing psychosis and mood disorders. I began to get interested in eating disorders when I realized many of my patients who are treated for psychosis and mood disorders often have an undiagnosed eating disorder which impacts their physical/mental health outcomes. I am a firm believer in a harm reduction approach with patients and believe together as a working team we can create realistic lifestyle changes to meet your needs.  

When I am not at EDTC, I work at my other psychiatric work commitments. Although I am only here on Mondays, I am continuously checking my messages throughout the week to ensure there is no lapse in care. 

I specialize in medication management/psychotherapy across the lifespan, and I am bilingual in Spanish/English.

Besides psychiatry, my passions in life include baking, bird watching, gardening, paddleboarding and spoiling my four fur babies. I have a 3-legged cat, 3-legged guinea pig, and two corgis who have all four legs!
