Hello! I’m Catarina.

I am a Nurse Practitioner with advanced psychiatric training. This allows me to prescribe medications and offer therapeutic interventions in collaboration with a psychiatrist. I also have over 20 years of experience in the medical field. My journey in healthcare has been fueled by a deep passion and curiosity for helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health and find meaningful and fulfilling lives.

My career has been dedicated to supporting individuals facing challenges such as trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other hurdles in mental health. I’ve had the privilege of working in some of the world’s most respected health and mental health settings. It’s exciting to be able to extend this experience into serving patients in private practice.

While diagnoses may be similar, every patient is unique and I tailor care to meet your individual needs. Treatment may involve psychiatric medications, non-pharmacologic interventions, or a combination of both.

In follow-up visits, we’ll continue to evaluate your progress, refine your treatment plan, and work toward your personal goals and overall well-being. If needed I will work closely with other professionals involved in your care to ensure a holistic path to healing.

Collaboration and education are central to my approach.

Whether you are feeling lost and need support, or mental health treatment scares you, I am here to support you in whatever means you are comfortable with.

I enjoy working with all patients, but especially young adults, creatives, high-achieving professionals, first-time patients, and those difficult to treat.

Before we begin, I do require we have a 15-minute free consultation to see if our styles are a good fit.
