Hi! I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry.

Sometimes life can be so beautiful, and sometimes it can seem daunting, scary, and overwhelming. I am here to walk on one’s journey with him/her/them to help make sense of this crazy and complicated thing we call life. I believe that no problem is too big when one views the person behind the suffering. I have found myself drawn to cases that are often avoided and cast out within the system, those that others struggle to help and find an answer for.

Navigating the journey life takes us can be stressful and challenging. Sometimes we push aside our experiences, thoughts and feelings in order to move through the world, which can lead to feeling disconnected from yourself or others. As a licensed clinical therapist, I specialize in working with young children and adults who experience difficulty with life transitions, parental stress, self-esteem, relationship conflict and trauma.

I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and understood. Together, we can work towards gaining a sense of reconnection, identity and control while developing healthy coping strategies and healthier relationships with yourself and the people around you.

I have experience working with individuals and couples from a wide variety of backgrounds. I received my M.S. Ed. in Mental Health Counseling from the Hunter College School of Education, as well as advanced education certificates from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. There I completed two-year programs in the Family and Couples Treatment Services division and the Integrated Trauma Program of ICP's Trauma Studies Center.
