I am a board certified Family, Psychiatric, and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (CRNP-PMH, FNP-BC, FNP-C), located in Pikesville, Maryland. I have over 15 years of nursing experience, 8 of which I have been practicing as a nurse practitioner. I offer non-emergent, personalized mental & behavioral health services, including initial mental health evaluation and treatment, medication management across the lifespan. I am comfortable with seeing children from the age of six years old, pre-teens, teenagers and adults, who struggle with mental or behavioral health. I also prescribe Suboxone for patients who struggle with substance use disorder. My goal is to create a safe space for anyone who seeks my support. My services are available to everyone and caters to the needs of individuals or families. I know that mental health is real, and that there could be some stigma associated with mental health. However, there is help out there. Therefore, I welcome people from all walks of life, children ages six years old, pre-teens, teenagers, adults and the elderly. Anyone who avails themselves, people who may be looked at differently in the society because of racial, sexual or ethnic differences are welcomed. I am committed to reaching out to my community by offering in-person, telehealth, telephonic and video consultations to make my services easily accessible.
