With 16 years of nursing experience and 5 years as a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adults ages 18–65. I see patients exclusively via telehealth in Pennsylvania and New York, making high-quality psychiatric care more accessible and convenient. My approach is rooted in collaboration, client advocacy, and holistic care. I believe that mental health treatment is not one-size-fits-all—true healing comes from addressing the whole person, including psychiatric, medical, social, and even spiritual factors. While medication can be a crucial tool, it is just one part of a comprehensive treatment plan. My goal is to work alongside you to create a personalized, integrative care plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals. I am committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or other mental health concerns, we will explore all available evidence-based treatment options together. Your well-being is my priority, and I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first session is a consultation focused on understanding your unique needs and determining if we are a good fit to work together. During this appointment, we will complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, discussing your current concerns, mental health history, and any past treatments. I take a holistic, biopsychosocial approach—meaning we will explore not only your symptoms but also factors such as coping skills, lifestyle, and overall well-being. A medical evaluation will also be included to ensure a thorough understanding of your health. While the goal is to establish a diagnosis, this may take time depending on the complexity of your situation. From this initial assessment, we will begin developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals. This may include medication management, lab tests, therapy recommendations, lifestyle modifications, or other evidence-based approaches. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey. I look forward to meeting you and working together toward your well-being.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide comprehensive, evidence-based mental health care tailored to each individual. My approach includes: Medication Management: When appropriate, I prescribe and manage psychiatric medications to support mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. Please note that at this time, I am not prescribing stimulant medication for ADHD. Supportive Psychotherapy: I integrate therapeutic techniques into sessions to help clients develop coping strategies and gain insight into their mental health. Integrative & Functional Psychiatry: I take a whole-person approach, considering not just symptoms but also underlying factors such as lifestyle, nutrition, and overall well-being. Diagnostic Testing & Supplement Support: When indicated, I utilize diagnostic testing and natural supplements as part of a personalized treatment plan. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment approach that aligns with your unique needs and preferences, whether that includes traditional psychiatric care, holistic strategies, or a combination of both.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to integrate both traditional psychiatry and functional, holistic approaches to mental health care. With training in both conventional and integrative psychiatry, I have the tools to create personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that align with your individual needs and preferences. Whether you prefer non-pharmaceutical options for managing anxiety, a combination of prescription medication and natural treatments for depression, or alternative strategies to support ADHD symptoms, I will work collaboratively with you to find the best approach. My goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care that empowers you to take charge of your mental health in a way that feels right for you. I am committed to listening, adapting, and ensuring that your treatment plan supports your unique journey toward wellness.
