Hello, and thank you for considering my services for your mental health needs. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner & hold a Master of Science in Nursing from Columbia University. I have a passion for providing comprehensive mental health care to individuals of all backgrounds. With 6 years of experience in nursing through various work-settings , I have dedicated myself to helping clients navigate their mental health journeys with empathy, understanding, and expertise. Our approach will be holistic, focusing on the needs of your entire being while integrating mindfulness practices. Regardless of what you’re dealing with; I am here to support you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The initial psychiatric evaluation is approximately 60-minutes, focusing on your symptoms and work toward a diagnosis. We use this time to review your current presentations as well as your medication, medical, family, and psychiatric history. We consider whether medication management would be appropriate for you and come up with a plan together to help you move in a new direction. Each treatment plan is individualized and catered to each patient.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I firmly believe in taking a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing that each individual is a unique combination of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual elements. My goal is to address mental health concerns not only from a clinical standpoint but also by considering the interconnectedness of various aspects of a person's life. Therefore, I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood regardless of their race, gender, cultural and religious background.
