Hello there! Are you navigating a major life transition and feeling like your mind, body, and spirit are all trying to catch up? Maybe you’re in the thick of perimenopause, a divorce, a new job—or all three at once. Or maybe you're experiencing burn out? You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel tired, anxious, and are craving a deeper healing than just a simple prescription.
My practice is designed for adult women and children in New Jersey. I love to work with people who are ready to feel heard, supported, and treated as a whole person; promoting care that sees the full person, not just the symptoms.
I am passionate about working with people who are open to getting to know themselves better, or getting to know themselves at all, or again! If you’ve been dismissed or overlooked before, I want you to know that this space is different. Here, your process matters. Your story matters. And together, we’ll move toward something more grounded, more peaceful, and more you. If you’re ready to feel like yourself again or meet yourself for the first time, reach out—I’d love to support you!
I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.
My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.
Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.
Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.
I am a board -certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping individuals achieve mental wellness through personalized, evidence-based care. I earned my Masters of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry and have several years of experience working with diverse populations in both in person and tele-psychiatry settings. My clinical focus includes mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions and life traditions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard and empowered.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University and completed specialized training in psychiatry.
I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, thought disorders, PTSD, OCD, and substance use disorders. My background includes working in both inpatient, outpatient, and intensive outpatient settings, giving me a well-rounded understanding of medication management, symptom stabilization, and long-term recovery.
I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms — and I’m committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Elizabeth, NJ
Finding psychiatrists in Elizabeth starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be one option to consider. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach so you can choose someone whose experience matches what you want to address.
Elizabeth has local options for psychiatric care, and availability can vary by office location, schedule, and appointment type. Virtual visits can expand your choices beyond nearby offices, especially if you need care that fits around work, school, caregiving, or transportation. Psychiatry appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their communication style, appointment structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Elizabeth can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who may accept a wide range of insurance plans, may be accepting new patients, and may match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details to verify coverage, see an estimated session cost before booking, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
