Hello, I’m Jose — a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My background includes years of experience as a bedside nurse in inpatient medical-surgical and behavioral health settings, caring for pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients. Through my training and practice, I’ve learned that every path to wellness is deeply personal. I’m passionate about collaborating with clients to understand their needs, build on their strengths, and take a motivational, compassionate approach to care.
I also recognize how difficult it can be to find LGBTQIA-affirming mental health support. My work is grounded in helping individuals release shame, embrace authenticity, and find balance through life’s challenges. Whether you’re navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, or seeking affirming, identity-centered care, my goal is to support you in thriving and becoming your fullest self.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes that mental health care should be compassionate, individualized, and centered around the whole person. I work with individuals across the lifespan who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges.
I believe that seeking mental health care is a sign of strength, not weakness. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being honest about what they are experiencing. I recognize that every person’s story is different, and I take the time to understand the individual behind the diagnosis.
