As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide individualized psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress, and other mental health concerns. With extensive experience in psychiatric nursing and diverse clinical settings.
I believe in holistic and evidence based care. I support people of all ages who are navigating anxiety and depression, including children, teens, adults, and older adults. My role is to guide, support, and collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, beliefs, culture, and preferences. I want you to feel heard, respected, and understood-not reduced to a diagnosis. Together, we can make space for what is difficult and build a path toward steadiness, clarity, and meaningful change, at a pace that feels right for you. You do not need to have answers before reaching out; we can begin where you are.
As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help could be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 9 years, with my main focus on clients aged 18-65 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar and ADHD.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, substance use concerns, and other mental health challenges.
My experience includes outpatient psychiatry as well as inpatient behavioral health and dual-diagnosis care. I also bring an extensive medical nursing background in critical care, telemetry, and medical-surgical settings, which helps me consider the connection between physical and mental health when caring for my patients.
Your mind and body are speaking—are you listening? As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in high-stakes intensive care, I understand what many overlook: mental and physical health are inseparable.
In critical care, I saw how stress, trauma, and anxiety manifest in the body—tight chests, sleepless nights, unexplained pain. And when the pandemic hit, I witnessed the silent emotional suffering of patients, families, and healthcare workers alike. That moment changed everything.
I chose psychiatry because healing your mind is just as vital as healing your body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like no one sees what you’re carrying—you don’t have to hold it alone. I’m here to help you reconnect, restore, and rise.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hackensack
Finding psychiatrists in Hackensack starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with a prescriber as part of your care. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Hackensack is a smaller city within Bergen County, so nearby in-person psychiatric options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey markets. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still keeping care covered through your insurance plan. Psychiatric medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Hackensack can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, take your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated session cost before you book, review psychiatrist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
