Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual board certified nurse practitioner with a specialty in psychiatry. I began working in psychiatry in 2012 as a nurse and have been practicing as a nurse practitioner since 2017. My work background includes treating clients in acute hospital settings throughout top hospitals in NYC and long term in outpatient settings. I have worked with clients as young as 5 years old and I am trained to see clients throughout the lifespan.

My approach to therapy

Warm, empathetic, honest and direct. I support, guide and help you find ways to help you cope with what is most stressful to you.

What you can expect from me

Given my background, experience and training; I can provide proper diagnoses, treatment recommendations and can prescribe or manage your current medications with safety as my priority. My approach is evidenced based with my goal of providing the least amount of medications at the lowest effective doses. By receiving written permission from you, collaborating with other providers, family members or caregivers, it will allow me to provide you with the individualized care you deserve.
