I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and interventional psychiatry. My background includes treating complex conditions like treatment resistant depression and anxiety, overseeing administration of ketamine & Spravato (esketamine) therapies, and providing TMS services. My path to advanced psychiatric care began in nursing, where I worked as an RN in emergency, trauma, and psychiatric emergency settings across California and New Jersey. These experiences fueled my commitment to helping others find relief even in the most challenging circumstances.
Healing is a journey, and I strive to treat not just your symptoms but the underlying causes of mental health challenges. I combine evidence-based medication management with education, advocacy, and support to help others feel heard, understood, and empowered. I want you to be an active participant in your care plan and to feel optimistic about your future.
I believe in a holistic, collaborative approach where we work together to create a treatment plan to best support your goals that may include medication management, TMS, or ketamine-assisted therapy. I'm passionate about psychoeducation, advocacy & building trusting relationships to empower you to take an active role in your healing & mental health journey.
