Great to meet you!
Welcome! Before sharing who I am and my background, I’d like to explain who my online practice is best suited for. I provide telepsychiatry and psychotherapy for adults and young adults with common outpatient concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, relationship and family concerns, stress, burnout, and life challenges. Because my practice is exclusively telehealth, individuals experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, active suicidal ideation, psychiatric hospitalization within the last 2 years, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, postpartum depression, or other high-acuity psychiatric conditions are generally better served by an in-person psychiatrist or hybrid practice offering both in-person and telehealth care...
A little about me: I’m a first-generation Italian American and proud son of immigrants from the Abruzzo region of central Italy. Raised in Upstate New York, I have lived on the West Coast for 27 years. I enjoy cooking, movies, documentaries, literature, philosophy, and the humanities...
My professional journey has taken me from chiropractic care to family medicine and mental health. I began at the University at Buffalo studying classical Italian literature and language, then earned my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles. Wanting to help patients in more ways, I became a nurse and eventually an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (Nurse Practitioner). I am board-certified in family medicine and psychiatric-mental health care. My approach is integrative and holistic, focusing on the whole person rather than simply managing symptoms. I may also incorporate natural approaches when clinically appropriate.
