I am a Family Nurse Practitioner committed to providing inclusive, compassionate, and gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals across the lifespan. As a proud lesbian provider, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into my practice, allowing me to offer care that is respectful, validating, and grounded in an understanding of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ communities.

I strongly believe in the importance of gender-affirming care as essential healthcare and strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where patients feel seen, heard, and empowered in their health decisions. My approach is rooted in advocacy, education, and patient-centered care, with a focus on addressing health disparities and systemic barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized communities.

As a first-generation Latina and LGBTQ+ healthcare professional, I have a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and structural factors that impact access to care—particularly for Latino/a/x individuals and families. I am especially passionate about advocating for equitable healthcare, culturally responsive care, and increased representation within the medical field.

My work and ongoing education are informed by a commitment to LGBTQ+ health, community engagement, and continuous learning to better serve diverse populations with competence, humility, and respect.
