My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience, caring for individuals from diverse backgrounds across healthcare and community settings.

My clinical background includes approximately one year working with men experiencing homelessness, where I conducted psychiatric evaluations to identify diagnosed and previously unrecognized mental health conditions that could affect employment, housing stability, and daily functioning. This experience strengthened my understanding of how mental health, life circumstances, and social challenges can impact overall well-being.

I also have extensive experience in postpartum and maternal health, giving me a unique understanding of perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns. While this remains a special area of interest, I provide psychiatric care to adults with a wide range of mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and sleep difficulties.

At NurtureNest Behavioral Health, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and supportive therapy using a compassionate, evidence-based approach. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward greater emotional well-being and an improved quality of life.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I am a therapist who will listen to what you need and assist you with achieving your personal goals. During the therapeutic process you will be able to understand more about yourself, as well as what role your environment plays in your life. I work from a trauma informed perspective and will be supportive in exploring how past challenges are currently affecting your life. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within my therapeutic approach, specifically Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which will allow you to learn more about using mindfulness in your life, and in your personal journey through therapy. I have experience working with adults who have Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder with a variety of stressors. I look forward to connecting and being able to support you.
