Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Newark, NJ covered by Cigna

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.

Thank you for taking time to learn a little bit about me. I am a compassionate listener who really enjoys guiding clients on their path to better wellness. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey I practice a client centered approach using different techniques such as mindfulness, CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy and Creative Modalities to work on their therapeutic goals.

My educational background includes a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, MFA in Fine Arts, and a certification in Education. Through my counseling career I have experience working with diverse populations and many different challenges life may bring.

Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.

I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of patient care experience, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma‐related concerns. I completed advanced graduate training in psychopharmacology and trauma‐informed care. I provide warm, collaborative medication management for adults and teens across Washington and New Jersey, through online sessions. My clinical philosophy is collaborative and compassionate. I believe treatment works best when clients feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we’ll build a plan that feels safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.

I've been doing this work for a long time, and one of the things that sets me apart is that I've also worked on the other side of the healthcare system - managing behavioral health benefits for a major insurer. I know how confusing and frustrating it can be to navigate insurance, and I want that to be one less thing you have to worry about when you're trying to take care of yourself. I trained at Adelphi University and I've worked with individuals across a wide range of settings — private practice, state-level consulting, and agency work. My clients tend to be adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. I work with people from all backgrounds, cultures, and identities. I practice fully online, which means you can see me from wherever you are in New York or New Jersey - no commute, no waiting room.

I'm a great listener who always seeks to empower and uplift my clients. I like to create a safe, judgement free space where someone will feel encouraged to express themselves while working on solutions collectively.

If you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression, you’ve found a warm and steady place to start. I’m a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and mindfulness has been a deeply important part of my own life and my work for nearly 30 years. Over the years, I’ve completed intensive meditation training in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, experiences that have profoundly shaped how I understand healing, presence, and the connection between mind and body. I’d be honored to bring all of that to you.
