Hello, and welcome. I’m a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in a variety of healthcare settings.

I work with children, teens, and adults, and I adapt my approach to meet each person’s unique needs and stage of life.

My passion for mental health grew through my work as an advanced practice clinician, where I saw how impactful the right care can be. I went on to pursue specialized training in psychiatry, graduating with honors in both phases of my graduate education. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers University) and later completed my post-master’s certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I treat a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and related concerns, and I take an individualized approach to care—whether that includes therapy-informed support, medication management, or a combination of both.

My journey of self-discovery has led me here and now. As most people do, we have hopes, dreams, and plans for our lives and aim for fulfillment. We do not always anticipate some of the obstacles that suddenly require a helping hand, a steppingstone, or a bridge. If you are currently experiencing any such challenge in your life, please reach out for help and support. I can provide counseling for individuals and the entire family. If you or your family is being impacted by addiction, relationship challenges, daily life stressors and disruptions and mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, your time might be now to receive some help.

I am skillful in helping families target the core issues that they are working through, whether driven by addiction or underlying mental health or dynamic factors. I employ strength based, cognitive behavioral techniques and a range of other modalities to achieve outlined goals. My role would be to listen, support, guide and to be transparent at all times.

Fear often holds us back from making a change or accepting help. Facing my fears has carved this amazing opportunity for me to help you. My years in the field has deepened my compassion for helping others of different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am inspired by those I helped on their journey and would love to do the same for you.

I did not choose the profession of social work—the profession chose me.

My journey began while working in customer service at a local grocery store. Even then, I recognized that I had a natural connection with people. I found myself listening, encouraging, and helping individuals navigate difficult situations and connect with the social systems and resources they needed. Looking back, I can see that those experiences were preparing me for the work I would eventually be called to do.

My journey into social work was not simply a career choice; it was part of God's plan for my life. The Lord placed a promise in my heart that I would earn my master's degree at the age of 44. I held onto that promise even when the journey was challenging.

At the age of 44, I was awarded my Master of Social Work degree, fulfilling a promise I believed God had made to me.

Today, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I consider it an honor to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life's challenges, discover their strengths, and work toward meaningful growth and change.

My journey has taught me that sometimes the path we are on is greater than the path we originally planned—and what we believe is simply a career can become a calling.
