Great to meet you!

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who has been certified by the Board of Nursing. While pursuing my graduate education at Wilkes University, I was the Nurse Manager of a community mental health crisis stabilization and substance misuse treatment center. The treatment of mood disorders, trauma, psychotic disorders, substance misuse, and chronic mental illness in adult clients between the ages of 18 and 65 is my primary area of interest.

My approach to therapy

My objective for my clients is to foster a sense of empowerment in their ability to manage their illness by providing supportive education in a stigma-free environment.

What you can expect from me

During their initial appointment, a client can anticipate receiving a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, treatment goals determination, and education regarding diagnosis and available treatment options.
