Virtual • Bensalem, PA


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.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe therapy works best as a genuine, human interaction—not a rigid clinical lecture. I’ve been working in the mental health field for nearly 20 years, bringing you seasoned experience while keeping things grounded in the reality that we’re both ordinary people doing our best. While I frequently work with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals, my practice is open to anyone ready for meaningful change—whether you're working through intense life disruption, burnout, or simply trying to get out of your own way. My focus is to help you build radical self-acceptance alongside relentless resilience, because no matter what life throws at you, you will always be enough to adapt, overcome, and take the next step forward.
