I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have been taking care of patients for the last 12 plus years. I have earned a master's degree in Nursing with Summa Cum Laude from Stonybrook University, specializing in psychiatry across the life span. I have experience in medication management treatment for patients from different backgrounds and all ages ranging from age 8 to 80 and above.
I customize treatment plans based on each patient’s cultural background and psychosocial history, keeping in mind each patient's unique need. I am committed to mental health wellness and specialize in stress management, Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, OCD, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, PTSD, postpartum depression, weight loss, insomnia.
I am big advocate for, 'pills with skills.’ as the best mantra for therapeutic treatment and therefore integrate mindfulness, meditation along with medication management. I do consultation and medication management appointments via HIPPA compliant telemedicine (remote video/audio session).Let’s take the first step together in this journey towards equanimity.

My goal is to help with MH disorder realize that they are not alone in their struggle and that medication treatment and with therapy goes a long way in dealing with issues. I believe in collaborating to help come up with a custom treatment plan for each patient. I make sure that patients start seeing improvement in the first month of treatment and sustained improvement thereafter.
