ABOUT

Navy Veteran, Spanish Speaking Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Focusing on Children and Adolescents. Bringing telemedicine in psychiatry to her local community in Parker, but also serving throughout the state of Colorado, at the comfort of your home.

My approach is seeing you as a whole and not just the mental health portion of you. During our first meeting, we go ever everything; from medical history, to hospitalizations, to surgeries, nutrition, current lifestyle. My focus is more holistic; trying to figure out the root of cause for your symptoms. I am not worried about finding out what DSM diagnosis you have right away, instead I focus on the whole person, body, mind, and soul. From there, as we figure things out TOGETHER; because are a team; we will then choose what lifestyle modifications we can implement into your life along with pharmacological interventions that can help you along your journey to a better life as a whole."

My drive and passion for life and happiness keeps me going everyday. The desire to exist and to make a difference in everyone’s lives including my family. I have always had this exiting feeling like a light that was just there, but was unsure where it would lead me. From the minute I hit rock bottom once, I knew exactly what I was meant to do. That is why the logo of Mindful Minds Psychiatry is a hand with a candle light. We want to be that light for you.

FUN FACT

I was born and raised in Playa, Cuba. I came to the United States when I was 14 years old. I lived in Miami, FL until I joined the United States Navy, where I worked in Aviation, mainly on EA-6B Prowler airplanes. After my contract, I moved to Colorado in 2009, where I met my current husband, Josh. We have built a life here in Colorado, and although my heart is mainly with the ocean, I do enjoy outdoor activities very much. During my free time, I enjoy reading books about mindfulness, neurobiology, psychopharmacology, self-improvement, spirituality, mind, body, and soul, among other topics. I have always had a passion and an intense drive for helping others reach their most positive potential, and I spend a lot of time and energy spreading that to others.

Another interesting fact about me is that I love art. I own my own tattoo machine and enjoy tattooing on myself when able. Unfortunately, since body art may still be frowned upon, most of my permanent art is hidden to ensure professionalism, although they are all very inspirational.
