I am a board certified advanced practice psychiatric nurse practitioner and I also hold a master's degree in counseling psychology. I have 12 years of experience working as a psych APN and prior to becoming a nurse practitioner I worked for many years in the social work and behavioral health fields. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, PTSD, and adjustment challenges.

Get to know me

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

My goal is to offer compassionate, comprehensive care that addresses both the emotional and physical aspects of mental health. When we work together, my primary focus is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I take a holistic approach to care, which means I don’t just focus on symptoms but look at the full picture of your life—your experiences, challenges, and goals. Whether you are grappling with anxiety, depression, or navigating a major life change, I’m here to help guide you through it. My experience with veterans and first responders gives me a deep appreciation for the complexities of trauma, and I am committed to helping individuals heal in a way that is tailored to their unique needs. I believe in fostering a collaborative relationship, where we work together to develop a treatment plan that feels right for you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My passion lies in supporting veterans, first responders, and individuals facing significant life transitions. Having worked extensively with the US Army, I understand the unique mental health challenges that active-duty military personnel and veterans encounter. I have also provided clinical care in a variety of settings, including Columbia University, where I combined research with hands-on treatment. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to treating a wide range of conditions, including grief and loss, relationship issues, and personal transformation.
