Great to meet you!

Starting a psychiatry practice is something I worked hard for, and I bring that same dedication to every patient I see. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Queens, I believe you deserve a space where you feel genuinely heard and supported from day one. My approach to care is rooted in collaboration. We work together to understand what is happening for you and build a path that fits your life. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma, I meet you where you are with warmth and real engagement. I am committed to thoughtful, attentive care every step of the way.

My approach to therapy

I show up for my patients with genuine energy and curiosity. We explore what is beneath your symptoms together, and I work to affirm your strengths throughout that process. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, seen, and one step closer to where you want to be.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I will spend that time getting to know you, what brings you in, and what matters most to you. You can show up exactly as you are. By the end, we will have a shared sense of where to start and what we are working toward together.
