New to Grow
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of experience across diverse mental health settings, including adult inpatient care and community mental health clinics. I earned my degree from Pace University and have dedicated my career to delivering compassionate, holistic, and patient-centered care. My approach emphasizes collaboration, evidence-based treatment, and respect for each individual’s unique experiences and needs.
On your first visit, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where your concerns are the priority. We'll take time to discuss your mental health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals, allowing us to create a personalized plan that may include brief psychotherapy, medication, or both.
Holistic, patient-centered care with evidence-based strategies, compassionate, collaborative treatment outcomes.
I am best positioned to serve individuals experiencing mental health challenges such as anxiety, panic disorder, ADHD, OCD, depression, PMDD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, trauma, or other mood disorders who are seeking to improve their emotional well-being, develop coping skills, and achieve greater stability and quality of life, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and function more effectively in daily life independently successfully.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
