About
Certified in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a safe, non-invasive treatment to help depression and OCD.
Able to prescribe Spravato® (esketamine), an FDA-approved, self-administered nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder.
Dr. Oliva approaches each patient with empathy and curiosity, aiming to understand their story beyond a diagnosis. She strives to create a safe, supportive space where people feel truly heard. Her clinical approach combines evidence-based techniques – like CBT and psychodynamic therapy – with a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens, and tailors care to each person’s unique needs and strengths. Above all, she’s committed to helping patients heal, grow, and reconnect with what gives their lives meaning.
Dr. Oliva feels fortunate to have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultural beliefs, which has taught her the importance of truly understanding each person’s unique story and worldview. She works to provide care that honors their individuality with compassion and respect. For her, psychiatry is not just about treating symptoms, it’s about walking alongside people as they find hope, strength, and healing. Outside of work, she finds joy in reading mystery novels and poetry, traveling, and spending quiet, restorative time at the beach. She’s also an animal lover, and nature brings her peace. Most of all, she cherishes moments spent with family and friends, the simple, meaningful connections that keep her grounded and hopeful.
