Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, trained at Buffalo University, with extensive experience in mental health care across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings. My practice offers a comprehensive approach to treatment, combining medication management with supportive therapy to address conditions such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal concerns.

My approach to therapy

My approach involves evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, combined with a holistic understanding of each person’s physical, mental, and social health. I prioritize taking the time to understand each patient’s strengths, needs, goals, and concerns, as well as any biological, psychological, and social factors that may influence their mental health.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help clients feel empowered, informed, and supported. Clients can expect to take away a better understanding of their mental health and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, focusing on each client’s unique experiences, goals, and strengths. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
