At Jumirean Mental Health Group, care is grounded in clinical excellence and faith-centered purpose. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults.

My approach is holistic—addressing the mind, body, and soul with intention and clinical precision. I believe true healing extends beyond symptom relief; it is the restoration of balance, the strengthening of resilience, and the rediscovery of clarity, purpose, and inner peace. Through comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, individualized medication management, and supportive therapeutic guidance, each treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the unique needs and lived experiences of every individual.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Oakland, NJ


Many people come to psychiatry after feeling frustrated by treatments that haven't worked or appointments that felt rushed. I became a psychiatric provider because I enjoy helping people understand their symptoms and find treatment approaches that genuinely fit their needs. Before becoming a PMHNP, I received a B.S. in Clinical Psychology from Tufts University and worked in psychiatric research focused on bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression. Today, I provide collaborative, individualized care to patients experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and more.

I believe in a client-centered approach, combining holistic and evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual. Recognizing that people are equal parts nature, nurture and the surroundings in which they live is a priority of mine, as no two people endure the same sets of circumstances. Moving forward consists of recognizing where a person is at that time, as well as crafting the space to assist them on the path to where they would like to be in order to have a better quality of life.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.
