Great to meet you!

My philosophy fosters a supportive, ethical, and effective environment for mental health care. Caring for your mental health boosts overall well-being. I incorporate evidenced based methods to deliver the highest level of care. Together, we’ll face life’s stressors, build resilience, and create healthy habits for lasting balance. Progress takes time, but each step empowers you. Whether through mindfulness, boundaries, or medication management, we’ll find what works best. You’re not alone. Let’s start today toward a healthier future. I have over 25 years of psychiatric and mental health experience at the University of Rochester. My primary focus is providing compassionate and patient-centered care. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I completed my Master’s in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing at Stony Brook University.

My approach to therapy

I work to support my patients in achieving optimal mental health through collaborative goal-setting.

Striving to provide a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed care environment. My specialties include, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorders.

What you can expect from me

Our first meeting will consist of a complementary 15 minute consultation.

The next session is psychiatric evaluation (around 60 minutes), during which we will discuss your history and current symptoms. We will work together to find a positive solution and plan moving forward.

Follow up meetings are 20-30 minutes in length. This time will be used to review your progress in treatment and make medication adjustments as needed.
