I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.
My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.
I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.

My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.
I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis.

I’m a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience working in ICU. My background in ICU shaped how I understand the deep connection between physical and mental health, especially how stress, trauma, and anxiety often show up in the body. I transitioned into psychiatry after witnessing firsthand the emotional toll the pandemic had on patients, families, and healthcare workers. It became clear to me that supporting people’s mental health is just as essential as treating physical conditions.
**Important for New Jersey patients seeking STIMULANT treatment:
Due to New Jersey state regulations, patients prescribed stimulant medications are required to attend an in-person visit at least once every three months. These visits are scheduled at my SoHo office in Manhattan.
Please note that there is a $100 facility fee for in-person visits to cover the cost of the clinical space. This fee is separate from insurance and is due at the time of the visit.**
Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or other emotional concerns. Seeking support is a courageous first step, and I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their unique experiences, identify barriers to well-being, and develop personalized treatment plans that support lasting growth and healing. My approach combines evidence-based practices with genuine empathy, recognizing that every individual's journey is different.

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 Livingston
Finding psychiatrists in Livingston starts with understanding the type of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see how they match your needs.
Livingston is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of New Jersey. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose a psychiatrist licensed in New Jersey. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and the bio details that explain their approach and communication style.
Psychiatric care in Livingston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, verifies insurance details, and shows estimated costs before you book. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
