Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Bedminster, NJ


At Jumirean Mental Health Group, care is grounded in clinical excellence and faith-centered purpose. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults.

My approach is holistic—addressing the mind, body, and soul with intention and clinical precision. I believe true healing extends beyond symptom relief; it is the restoration of balance, the strengthening of resilience, and the rediscovery of clarity, purpose, and inner peace. Through comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, individualized medication management, and supportive therapeutic guidance, each treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the unique needs and lived experiences of every individual.

I have a background which includes many years of Post-Graduate education, knowledge and experience providing mental health care to those who need help dealing with a wide range of mental health issues or concerns. Whether you desire improved and better quality relationships, need help with feelings, with issues of daily life, or with reaching your goals, I can help you gain emotional health - the ability to love, work and play as you wish.


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 15 years of Post-Graduate education and training in Modern Psychoanalysis at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis, which allows me to listen and respond to your needs, through special understanding of unconscious processes that affect the human mind as a whole.


My specialty is in using Talk Therapy as a treatment for relieving mental and emotional distress. Whatever your diagnosis, difficulty, age, finances, or emotional needs, I help you with the process of talking to solve conflicts which block you from accomplishing what you want in life.

People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.
