About me
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in healthcare, dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals across New Jersey. I offer comprehensive psychiatric medication management and individualized therapeutic support, tailoring treatment to each person’s unique needs, goals, and life circumstances. I believe in a holistic approach to mental wellness—one that honors the connection between mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
I work with adolescents (ages 16+) and adults experiencing common mental health concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood-related symptoms. My focus is on providing thoughtful, personalized care in a way that feels approachable, supportive, and sustainable. I work collaboratively with patients, empowering them to take an active role in their care.
I recognize that mental health challenges can feel isolating and overwhelming. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and fully accepted throughout their healing journey.
