She brings more than 10 years of nursing experience, including high-acuity patient care, patient education, and charge nurse leadership.
Her years working night shifts have given her a firsthand appreciation for the importance of restorative sleep and its influence on energy, concentration, mood, and everyday life. This perspective shapes her thoughtful, individualized approach to care and her commitment to understanding how sleep concerns affect each patient.
At Comprehensive Sleep Care Center, Minerva works collaboratively with patients and the clinical team to develop treatment plans that reflect each person’s health needs, routines, and goals. Her philosophy begins with listening and creating an environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions, understand their treatment options, and participate actively in decisions about their care.
Minerva believes effective treatment should be practical and manageable within a patient’s daily life. Through clear education and ongoing guidance, she helps patients better understand their sleep health and navigate their care. Fluent in English and Haitian Creole, she values building lasting relationships through respectful, accessible communication. Her goal is to support better sleep, improved daily functioning, and long-term well-being.
