At Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of Southern New Jersey, we specialize in psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults, and we've spent decades doing this work at every level — from a child struggling to focus in school, to complex cases involving severe autism, suicidal behavior, substance use, and everything in between. We don't cherry-pick the easy cases. We show up for the hard ones.

What makes us different: We're not content to offer what every other practice offers. We are constantly evolving — because psychiatry is evolving — and we believe our patients deserve access to the most advanced, effective tools available anywhere.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Jersey


Hello, and welcome. I’m a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in a variety of healthcare settings.

I work with children, teens, and adults, and I adapt my approach to meet each person’s unique needs and stage of life.

My passion for mental health grew through my work as an advanced practice clinician, where I saw how impactful the right care can be. I went on to pursue specialized training in psychiatry, graduating with honors in both phases of my graduate education. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers University) and later completed my post-master’s certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I treat a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and related concerns, and I take an individualized approach to care—whether that includes therapy-informed support, medication management, or a combination of both.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Hackensack, NJ

Finding psychiatrists in Hackensack starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with a prescriber as part of your care. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.

Hackensack is a smaller city within Bergen County, so nearby in-person psychiatric options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey markets. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still keeping care covered through your insurance plan. Psychiatric medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style and session structure.

Psychiatric care in Hackensack 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 match your needs, take your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated session cost before you book, review psychiatrist 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.
