Care Centered On You
Welcome!
I am a dual Board Certified Nurse Practitioner (Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Medicine).
I began my career as a Cardiac Intensive Care nurse at a major teaching hospital in New York City. I have 35+ years of experience in nursing and a wealth of experience in almost all areas of mental health.
I manage and treat a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety disorders, attention deficity/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder.
In my practice, I prescribe medications to help treat your symptoms when appropriate and safe. Although, I never solely rely on psychiatric medications as a complete fix. I utilize other treatment modalities as well, including nutrition modification, sleep hygiene, and physical fitness. The Mind-Body connection is at the core of my treatment plan.
Whether you are interested in finding a medication prescriber who can continue a treatment regimen that is already working well or seeking psychiatric services for the first time, I am excited to work with you to achieve your goals. Reaching out for help is a crucial, courageous first step to improving mental wellness.
I look forward to working with you!
