Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner across the life span. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a registered psychiatric nurse with the state of New Jersey for over eight years. My clinical experience includes consultation and treatment of various psychiatric illnesses. I work with my clients to create individualized plan that suits their needs.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health. I work to address the psychosocial stressors of clients, knowing that some mental health concerns demand holistic care.I want you to feel heard and respected during our sessions.

What you can expect from our first session

The ability to acknowledge the need to reach out for help is the first approach an individual can take towards a fulfilling life. My objective is to positively impact lives by providing clients with excellent and impeccable mental health services. I strive to treat our clients like humans rather than numbers.
