Dr. Trigueiro began his career as a psychiatric inpatient and emergency room nurse, where six years of frontline experience inspired him to pursue advanced doctoral training to expand his ability to serve vulnerable populations. His work as a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner has focused on improving behavioral health outcomes for individuals experiencing homelessness through programs at the Downtown Emergency Service Center, one of Seattle’s largest providers of homeless healthcare services.

He collaborates closely with interdisciplinary teams to develop individualized treatment plans that promote safe transitions of care and reduce barriers to behavioral health access.
Guided by a trauma-informed and holistic philosophy, Dr. Trigueiro emphasizes motivational interviewing, collaborative care, and recovery-focused interventions to empower patients toward stability, resilience, and long-term wellness.
