I prioritize individualized patient care focusing on the holistic well-being of my patients. My patient-centered approach to treatment incorporates evidence-based practice, medication management, psychoeducation and supportive therapy. With combined experiences as a board certified Adult NP and PMHNP, I provide comprehensive psychiatric care to patients struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, eating disorders, insomnia, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders.
I am a doctoral-prepared, dual board-certified PMHNP and Primary Care NP with over 13 years of experience as a provider. I completed my Master's in Primary Health from UMDNJ and a Postgraduate certification in psychiatric nursing from Wilkes University. I earned my Doctorate in Nursing Practice with honors from Rutgers University.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric care to adolescents and adults. I am deeply passionate about my work. You will feel safe expressing your mental health issues with me. I am empathetic and non-judgmental. I will listen to and validate your concerns, support you, and give you the tools necessary to improve your mental well-being.
