Are you or your loved one burdened by the weight of mental health problems? Is your loved one or you dealing with a child who is not performing at the expected level due to chronic mental illness, intellectual disability or other co-occurring disorders? Are you confused, you don't know what is exactly going on, what to expect and how to proceed? Are you seeking a holistic, compassionate yet an empathic approach to address your mental health needs? I understand your goals of seeking mental health treatment, and with me your care will be supportive, individualized, and recovery-oriented guiding you towards stability and independence
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in the state of New Jersey with numerous years of clinical experience in all aspects of mental health across all ages. My approach to providing care is guided by the Biopsychosocial model which enables me to dive deeper to the problem at hand and proffer robust efficient treatment
Mental health is everything, and I understand that very clearly. I know how poor mental health can take a toll on the lives of everyone involved. One of my strengths is my ability listen fully to my clients to understand their needs. It is my desire to be your anchor as you or your loved one journey through the challenges of mental health one day at a time.
