As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that respects each individual’s unique background, culture, and experiences. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with my clients and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in a variety of fields (psychiatric screening, infectious disease case management, school based individual and family therapy services). I've worked successfully with individuals, couples and families, and I am a dedicated, compassionate and attentive clinician with an innate ability to connect to people.
I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of postpartum mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, weight management, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ridgewood
Finding the right therapist in Ridgewood starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship concerns, or life transitions, look for a licensed provider who specializes in your area of need. Common therapy approaches available in Ridgewood include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and couples or family therapy. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Beyond clinical fit, practical factors matter too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Ridgewood Village or the flexibility of virtual appointments. Check a provider's availability and whether they're accepting new patients — details that can be difficult to confirm through traditional directories.
Therapy in the Bergen County area can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network insurance benefits.
