I am a doctorally prepared, double-board certified Nurse Practitioner based in New Jersey. I received my Master's from Monmouth University, my Doctorate from Northern Kentucky University and have been practicing for over 7 years. With a strong commitment to holistic wellness, I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapeutic interventions tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. My passion is fostering resilience and empowering individuals on their journey towards mental health and well-being.
During your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and confidential environment where we'll begin to understand your unique needs and goals. This initial session is primarily focused on assessment and building a foundation for our therapeutic relationship. We will also create a plan for moving forward that feels right for you. You'll have ample opportunity to ask questions and share any thoughts or feelings you have throughout the process.
My greatest strengths as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is my ability to integrate a comprehensive understanding of both mental and physical health with a compassionate and patient-centered approach. Clients often find my communication style to be clear and empathetic, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust and mutual respect. Furthermore, my background as a Family Nurse Practitioner provides a unique perspective, allowing me to consider the physical well-being of each individual and collaborate effectively with other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care.
I enjoy working with individuals that are ready to embark on their journey to well-being. They are eager to understand their conditions and are open to exploring different perspectives and options.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Medication management is not the only answer. In practice, we will set SMART goals and address obstacles that might prevent value-driven actions.

Ericka was extremely helpful and easy to speak with. She's an excellent listener who takes time to understand your past experiences and current goals. She asked what has worked for me before and what hasn't, showing she truly cares about finding the right approach. I'm grateful she was so open to working with me. She created a trusting environment and will be a valuable resource. Highly recommend!
