Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Bukky, a dual-certified, doctorally prepared Nurse Practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. I completed my Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner training at NYU, Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner training at the University of New Hampshire, and doctoral studies at Gannon University.

For the past eight years, I have focused on providing mental health care to adults and older adults. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and related mental health concerns. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized care in a supportive, respectful environment.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I take the time to understand each client’s concerns, personal history, goals, and strengths so we can develop a treatment plan that feels realistic and meaningful.

I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where clients can feel comfortable discussing their experiences. My focus includes the evaluation and treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns in adults and older adults. Depending on each client’s needs, treatment may include medication management, education, supportive therapy, and ongoing monitoring.

I believe in partnering with clients throughout the treatment process, encouraging open communication and shared decision-making. My goal is to help each person achieve greater stability, improve daily functioning, and feel more confident in managing their mental health.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free environment. We will discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, medications, daily experiences, and treatment goals.

I will work with you to develop a clear understanding of your needs and create an individualized treatment plan. We may identify initial strategies to support your well-being and, when appropriate, discuss medication options. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, respected, and hopeful, with a clearer path forward in your care.
