I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience providing comprehensive mental health care across inpatient and outpatient settings. My clinical work spans adolescents through older adults, treating a wide range of conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADD, and borderline personality disorder. I also have focused experience in postpartum mental health and bring an additional 15 years of critical care nursing experience, which informs a holistic and medically informed approach to psychiatric care. As a father to 4 kids and a dog, I understand the importance of support and resilience. When I'm not cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles or enjoying soccer and boxing, I'm dedicated to helping individuals achieve better mental health and overall well-being. Approach to Care My approach is patient-centered, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I integrate talk therapy with medication management when appropriate, tailoring treatment plans to each individual’s needs, preferences, and goals. I emphasize building a strong therapeutic relationship, promoting insight, and supporting long-term stability and functional improvement.
My focus will be on getting to know you and understanding your concerns in a safe, respectful, and confidential environment. I will begin by introducing myself, explaining how telehealth works, and reviewing confidentiality, including its limits. You will have the opportunity to share what brought you to seek care, your current symptoms, and any relevant personal, medical, or mental health history. I may ask structured questions to better understand your experiences, mood, sleep, stressors, and overall functioning. We will also discuss your goals for treatment and what you hope to achieve. Time will be provided for you to ask questions about the process, diagnosis, or treatment options. If appropriate, we will begin to outline an initial plan, which may include therapy, lifestyle strategies, or medication. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel heard and comfortable as we begin working together.
I have been in practice for the past 5 years working in an inpatient and out patient settings , providing care to adolescent to late adultholod dealing with various mental health issues includes anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder,. ADD, postpartum depression .You can expect a non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable expressing yourself from the safety of your home. Services are confidential and HIPAA-compliant. You'll leave each session with optimism for the future and belief in your ability to overcome struggles.. My approach stands out by combining medication management with a personalized, whole-person perspective rather than focusing on symptoms alone. I take time to understand each client’s unique experiences, goals, and life context, and use that understanding to guide treatment decisions. Care is collaborative and flexible. Clients are actively involved in setting goals, tracking progress, and adjusting the plan as needed. This allows treatment to stay relevant, practical, and aligned with what matters most to them. I also emphasize clarity, education, and real-world strategies, so clients leave sessions not only with a plan, but with a better understanding of their mental health and tools they can use in their daily lives.
The ideal client for individual therapy is someone seeking support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or difficulties with focus, relationships, or emotional regulation. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, but are open to exploring their experiences and working toward change. This client is willing to engage in a collaborative process, reflect on patterns, and practice new skills between sessions. They value personal growth and are motivated to improve their mental health, build coping strategies, and develop greater self-awareness. Goals often include feeling more balanced and in control, improving daily functioning, strengthening relationships, and gaining clarity, confidence, and direction in their life.
