I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, attention deficit, trauma, and behavioral issues, amongst others. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the College of the Holy Cross, a Master’s degree in Nursing from Yale University and a Post-Master’s Certificate from Hunter College. I specialize in psychiatric diagnosis, medication management, brief psychotherapy and holistic interventions for children, adolescents, and young adults with mental health issues and behavioral disorders.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

When looking to make changes, growth, and transformation, one must uncover the roots of external symptoms. During our first visit, I will get to know you, gather information, understand how you are feeling, and review current stressors. I want you to feel comfortable working with me in a collaborative way and together we will clarify your treatment goals and develop a plan that may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My primary goal is to reduce distressing symptoms, enhance functioning, and improve the overall well-being of my clients. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment to explore obstacles and concerns related to anxiety, depression and self care. I will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan to achieve your goals by implementing supportive and therapeutic strategies, medication management, or lifestyle changes. I look forward to working together to help you feel better and be your best self!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with children, adolescents, and young adults to uncover the roots of external symptoms to enhance functioning and quality of life. ***As of October 20, 2024, I am only accepting patients for medication management.***
