With more than 20 years of experience in psychiatric nursing and a decade as a family nurse practitioner, I bring a wide foundation to everyone I work with. I trained at a state psychiatric hospital in New Jersey, where I built deep expertise caring for people across the full range of psychiatric conditions. Now in my own private practice, I focus on general psychiatry and ADHD across all ages. I am licensed in New Jersey and practice with the support of a collaborative physician to deliver coordinated, thorough care
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.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City
Finding psychiatrists in Jersey City starts with knowing what type of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re seeking care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs.
Jersey City has in-person and virtual psychiatry options across areas like Downtown, Journal Square, the Heights, and Lincoln Park. A nearby office may matter if you prefer to meet in person or want an appointment that fits around your commute, while virtual sessions may offer more flexibility across your schedule. Psychiatry appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, review each profile for availability, whether they are accepting new patients, session format, and communication style before you book.
Psychiatric care in Jersey City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer clear booking options. You can enter your insurance details, compare profiles, 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.
