Hi there, I'm Francisca!
As a doctoral prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with critical care experience, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care focused on the connection between mental and physical health. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach that supports healing, resilience, balance, and emotional wellness.
My focus
I work with people seeking support for anger management, anxiety, depression, substance use, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and insomnia. I have special compassion for young people navigating stress, uncertainty, and identity. I understand how environmental factors, life experiences, and trauma shape mental health.
My approach
I use mindfulness-based therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help individuals build self-awareness and healthier coping patterns. I take a holistic approach that recognizes the impact of trauma, culture, environment, experiences, and biology, combining therapy and medication management to support the whole person.
