I am a Board Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2018 from the University of Maryland, then subsequently earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Wilkes University. I have experience working in an inpatient psychiatric facility caring for adults with various psychiatric conditions. My goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect.
I am licensed and credentialed in New Jersey and Colorado. I am accepting new clients from those states.
Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.
I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. 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. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.
For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.
Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.
Board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) Specializes in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and evidence-based psychotherapy for patients across the lifespan. Dedicated to providing compassionate, trauma-informed, and holistic care in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
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.

am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive, skills-based psychotherapy, with treatment tailored to each patient's age, circumstances, symptoms, and goals.
My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health systems, detoxification and dual-diagnosis programs, and community-based mental health organizations. This experience has allowed me to work with individuals across the lifespan and with a wide range of needs, from patients seeking help with anxiety, depression, or ADHD to those managing trauma, substance use, or more complex mental health conditions. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree with advanced training in psychiatric mental health. In addition to my direct clinical work, I have served as Chief Nurse Executive for a large behavioral health organization, where I oversaw integrated mental health, addiction treatment, and community-care programs. Working at both the patient and organizational levels has given me a broad perspective on mental health care and reinforced the importance of looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the medical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can affect a person's well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Red Bank
Finding psychiatrists in Red Bank starts with understanding the type of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatry may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Medication management often includes discussing symptoms, reviewing how current care is going, and adjusting the care plan when clinically appropriate. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on your needs.
In a smaller local market like Red Bank, nearby appointment options may vary across Red Bank, Fair Haven, Shrewsbury, and the wider Monmouth County area. Virtual psychiatry can help expand your options when local office availability is limited or when your schedule fits better with remote appointments. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at availability, appointment format, listed specialties, and whether the bio explains the psychiatrist’s approach to care.
Psychiatric care in Red Bank 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 you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, compare 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.
