Great to meet you!

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with several years of experience in the field of mental health, which includes acute care. I specialize in problems of mood (depression, bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety), and neurocognitive impairments (Alzheimer’s Dementia, and other forms of dementia).

I utilize an integrative approach to treatment to diagnose the root-cause of any issue to create and optimize an individual’s treatment plan.

My approach to therapy

I believe that fundamental respect and honesty between the patient and provider can lead to a better health care outcome. Overall therapeutic/professional relationship between the client and provider is key to obtaining positive results.

What you can expect from me

The sessions are designed to make clients feel safe, cared for and comfortable, so that at the end of each session they believe that their needs were met.

Please complete the initial intake forms via website prior to appointment. You will get 15 minutes with me to meet one another, and get understanding of your concern, and see if it is a good fit to meet your needs.
