(he/him)
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 15+ years of experience in both physical and mental healthcare. I am a certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I received a Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University and earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Business and Nursing. I bring a compassionate, individualized approach to help my clients overcome their mental health concerns. I was drawn to mental healthcare because as many as 60% of people suffer from some form of mental discomfort, and there are not enough providers to help. Many overlook mental health due to perceived stigma. I'm here to offer support and help others achieve a more fulfilling and happy life.
I treat each patient with a holistic, evidence-based approach incorporating psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic best practices. In our first session, we will discuss and assess your mental healthcare concerns, determine your treatment options, and together establish a treatment plan that best fits you. We will then schedule a follow-up session to discuss any concerns you have. I have experience with several therapy modalities, such as supportive, psychodynamic, CBT, and motivational interviewing. By working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and all socioeconomic strata, I offer compassionate mental healthcare tailored to your unique needs by establishing a safe and inclusive space to express yourself without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to reach out can be intimidating. To make this process as comfortable and easy for you as possible, book a time for us to meet. *** Additional Appointments are available by checking with the office. Please inquire during regular business hours M-F 8am-5pm EST.

Couldn't have asked for better help than Wayne!! Thank you!!
March 1, 2026
Dr. Wayne is a super warm professional, he made me feel super comfortable throughout the whole session, made it super easy for me to understand, never made me feel judged. He's a really knowledgeable person as well, gives you options, and most importantly, solutions! I really loved that he made the session feel like a conversation between friends, which helped me a lot with feeling calm instead of nervous, glad I chose him as my psychiatrist!
