Telehealth | NY | NJ | CT | ADHD | Anxiety | Depression | Medication Management

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.

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. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. 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.

Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

You deserve a care plan that sees the whole person—not just a 15-minute prescription.

Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I believe true healing happens in a trusted partnership. In our sessions, you will find a safe, non-judgmental space where your voice is heard, your story is respected, and your personal goals guide every decision we make together.

How We Will Work Together:

• Care Beyond Medication: While precision medication management can be an effective tool, it is only one part of healing. I actively integrate evidence-based therapy skills (including CBT and Motivational Interviewing) to help you build practical, lasting coping strategies.
• Mind-Body Connection: With more than 25 years of extensive clinical nursing experience, I look closely at how your physical health, sleep, stress, and lifestyle influence how you feel mentally and emotionally.
• Culturally Sensitive & Personalized: Your background, values, and lived experiences matter. We will tailor your care to fit who you are and what you care about most.

Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, mood changes, or major life transitions, we will work together at your pace to help you regain balance and feel empowered in your daily life.

As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), I provide comprehensive, evidence-based care to individuals receiving inpatient and outpatient services through Rutgers Behavioral Health. I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental health challenges, with a focus on individualized, compassionate treatment. My goal is to help you achieve symptom relief, strengthen resilience, and move toward a more stable and fulfilling life aligned with your personal goals

I create a warm, welcoming space where your voice is truly honored and your feelings are valued. With empathy, compassion, and lightness when needed, I walk beside you as you build confidence, embrace healing, and discover new ways to move forward.

My journey into this work is deeply personal. My own experience with therapy had a profound and transformative impact on my life and ultimately inspired me to pursue this career. I experienced firsthand what it means to have someone support and guide you through difficult moments, and I wanted the opportunity to provide that same compassion and support to others. I know the courage it takes to begin, which is why I create a safe, judgment-free space where your story is respected and your healing is supported.

Guided by empathy, honesty, and openness, I blend compassion with practical guidance to help you navigate challenges with confidence. And when appropriate, I bring humor and lightness into the process—because growth can be meaningful while still feeling human. You may even see my dog-daughter, Gingerbread, make a surprise appearance!

Here, you’ll find a space that is real, supportive, and judgment-free, where your feelings are valued and your story matters.

Together, we’ll face challenges honestly, with compassion and even laughter, as you move toward healing and growth.

I’m so very proud of you for taking this step💕
