Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Jersey


I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through behavioral health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma‐informed care, cultural sensitivity, and meeting people exactly where they are. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Monmouth University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and addiction treatment settings. My background includes detox and MAT services, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and leading interdisciplinary teams. I also serve as a clinical instructor for BSN students, which keeps me connected to education, mentorship, and the next generation of nurses.

I'm passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety and depression—I truly thrive when helping clients break the grip of panic. My ideal clients are ready to move beyond "just talking" into action, mastering the practical strategies needed to reclaim their well-being. Using a direct, empowering approach, we'll untangle how your thoughts shape your emotions. Together, we'll build a toolkit to manage both mental overwhelm and the physical toll of anxiety. My goal is to equip you with the confidence and high-level tools to navigate life's stressors independently and finally feel like yourself again.

With 20 years of experience, I am a certified CBT specialist dedicated to helping adults break free from anxiety disorders, panic, OCD, ADHD, depression, and insomnia with CBT-I. My approach is direct and empowering; I don't just listen—I equip you with a specialized toolkit to silence intrusive thoughts so you can manage your mental well-being independently.

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

Great to meet you!

Therapy should be a place where you don't have to censor yourself or worry about being judged. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, intimacy and sexual concerns, identity, self-esteem, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, affirming, sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy should feel collaborative rather than clinical or intimidating. I especially enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns that are no longer serving them, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change in their lives.
