My background in both primary care and psychiatry allows me to take a comprehensive approach to mental health treatment. I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and partnering with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that support their long-term well-being.
My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner was inspired by personal experiences. The stigma of mental health obstructs many people's journeys to achieving happiness. As a US Army Veteran, I have seen firsthand how this affects the lives of those struggling and their families. My goal is to enhance awareness and reduce the stigma.
I believe we all need to be heard and treated with respect and dignity. Treatment involves us working together to get the best results.

I’m a direct, down-to-earth provider who values honesty, efficiency, and clear communication. I focus on practical, evidence-based care and avoid unnecessary medications. My goal is to help you feel better with a plan that actually works in your day-to-day life.
If you're a parent worried about your child, or a young person trying to keep it together — I see you, and I'm here to help.
Maybe your child is melting down in ways you can't explain. Maybe your teen is shutting down, struggling at school, or carrying something heavy that nobody's been able to name yet. Maybe you've tried to get help before and it didn't quite fit. Whatever brought you here, you're not overreacting — and you don't have to keep navigating this alone.
I'm a psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience treating clients with mental health conditions. My approach is rooted in building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship with each patient. I believe that understanding you as an individual is key to developing an effective and personalized treatment plan. I take the time to listen, get to know your needs and goals, and collaborate with you to find the best path forward for your well-being.
I'm here to support your journey to better mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in New Jersey
Finding psychiatrists in New Jersey starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and do not prescribe medication. Both can be helpful entry points depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Across New Jersey, available psychiatrists may vary between larger areas like Newark, Jersey City, and Trenton, as well as suburban and rural communities. Some people prefer in-person appointments near home or work, while others choose virtual psychiatry for added flexibility. Psychiatric medication management appointments 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 options, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in New Jersey 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 and psychiatric nurse practitioners who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before you book. Browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you are 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.
