Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Livingston, NJ covered by Aetna

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice and board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC), and I specialize in providing holistic, evidence‐based care to individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns. I have extensive experience working with adults in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, and I am committed to helping my patients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

I assess, diagnose, and manage individuals with various psychiatric conditions in an outpatient setting. I conduct comprehensive intake evaluations and follow‐up psychiatric assessments, prescribe and manage psychotropic medications using evidence‐based research, and create individualized treatment plans that combine both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. I also provide psychotherapy utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma‐informed approaches, and other therapeutic modalities to help clients work through complex mental health issues.

My practice is grounded in a holistic perspective. I look at the full picture of your emotional, physical, and social well‐being when we develop your treatment plan together. I value collaboration and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build insight, and learn practical coping strategies to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. I am comfortable working with a breadth of concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma‐related symptoms, co‐occurring substance use, and the emotional impact of medical and life stressors.

In addition to my outpatient work,

I am a licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Pastoral Counselor, Approved Clinical Supervisor and a National Certified Counselor. My goal is to provide insight, tools and psychoeducation to help clients move beyond limiting beliefs and behaviors. I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, OCD disorder, dual diagnosis, job loss, financial stress, self-esteem, stress management, Premarital, marriage and relationship counseling.

This provider only conducts psychiatric evaluation and prescribes medications

Welcome!

Navigating the path to healing can feel daunting, especially for marginalized individuals facing systemic barriers. My mission is to honor and empower your strength and vulnerability as you seek support. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can share your story authentically, free from judgment or criticism. I integrate cultural, racial, and ethnic understanding into our sessions to ensure your unique experiences are respected and validated.

My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.

You should know that I truly see you — not just your symptoms or diagnosis. Many clients come to me feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck — often after feeling unheard or dismissed by other providers. My goal is to understand the full picture — your goals, challenges, and values — and create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your care. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other psychiatric concerns.

I combine evidence-based psychiatry with a holistic, personal touch. Care with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and never rushed. I don’t push medications or rely on quick fixes — I work with you to find clarity, balance, and lasting relief through treatment that fits your life.

Hello and welcome! I have been assisting clients with navigating some of the most difficult stages of life. I have provided services with clients between the ages of 4 and 96. I specialize in aging, grief/loss and life transitions.
