I started my career in healthcare providing respite, residential, and skilled community living care to children and young adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. During this time, I fell in love with the profession of nursing and completed my BSN in 2018 at Mercy College of Health and Sciences. I began my nursing career in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and later transitioned to working at a pediatric outpatient clinic. I felt most passionate about working with children and young adults seeking treatment for mental health and chose to pursue my Master of Sciences in Nursing at Briar Cliff University.
I am board certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment while understanding that each individual has their own unique mental health care needs. I prioritize providing care that is holistic and patient-centered.
I am dedicated to creating personalized care plans combining evidence-based practice, patient input, and team collaboration. I provide medication management with supportive psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and young adults. My special areas of interest include depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, ADHD, and adjustment disorders.
