I believe the first step toward feeling better is having someone in your corner, and I work hard to make you feel supported and cared for. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Lifespan) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of nursing experience, from the pediatric NICU to adult care, and I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma.
I help children, teens, and adults with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma, using a holistic blend of medication, CBT-based strategies, and attention to sleep, nutrition, and exercise. I prioritize a collaborative approach, ensuring you feel supported and informed as we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Our first 60-minute visit is about getting to know you: what brings you in, your history, and your daily habits like sleep, nutrition, and stress. There's no pressure to share everything at once, and for children and teens, a parent or guardian joins for part of the visit. We'll finish by building a plan together, which may include medication, therapy strategies, lifestyle changes, or a mix, so you leave with a clear next step.
