"Finding common ground is the first step toward lasting healing."
— Raquel, Founder
Compassionate Expertise for Your Journey
Hi, I'm Raquel. I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of clinical experience in emergency medicine, urgent care, and primary care. I founded Common Ground NP to bridge the gap between mental health and physical wellness through compassionate, integrative telehealth care.
My practice focuses on mental health, functional medicine, and menopause support. I help adults struggling with menopause, depression, ADHD, hormonal imbalance, and mood changes find real answers and personalized treatment plans. As a doctoral candidate and experienced NP, I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach that looks beyond symptoms.
As a mother of two, resilience and empathy shape how I care for my patients. I understand that healing is not just clinical, it is personal. My goal is to create a safe virtual space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to take control of your health.
Outside the Clinic
When I’m not caring for patients, I am first and foremost a mother. My family has taught me strength, patience, and the power of showing up fully, even on the hardest days. My own health journey has deepened my passion for advocacy and lifelong learning, which continues to shape both my doctoral work and my commitment to better mental health care.
