Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Hicksville, NY


I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 14 years of healthcare experience caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I earned my BSN from Nova Southeastern University, MSN-FNP from the University of South Alabama, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Florida, and Post-Master's PMHNP certificate from Wilkes University.

My background includes intensive care, family medicine, urgent care, oncology, thoracic surgery, correctional healthcare, and outpatient psychiatry. This diverse experience allows me to understand the connection between physical and mental health while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

I specialize in evaluating and treating anxiety, depression, panic disorder, PTSD and trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, stress and burnout, adjustment disorders, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, women's mental health, postpartum depression and anxiety, and life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, caregiver stress, and co-occurring mental health conditions.

My approach is collaborative, holistic, and individualized. I combine medication management with evidence-based therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and strengths-based interventions. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their journey.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

When ur mind won’t stop and ur body won’t settle: healing is possible!

Are u struggling with anxiety, trauma or intrusive thoughts?

I work with clients who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, panic, intrusive and obsessive thinking, somatic symptoms, emotional overwhelm and phobias, feel like themself again.

My approach is warm, empathic, intuitive and holistic, healing on mind, body and soul level.

I believe anxiety is often the mind and body’s way of trying to protect us, especially when past experiences, trauma or chronic stress have left the nervous system feeling unsafe. Together we gently explore the underlying roots of your symptoms with subconscious processes, as we update neural and nervous system networks, while building practical tools to help u feel more grounded.

My work integrates evidence based practices, like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, some somatic (as I’m somatic informed), and deeper emotional insight.

Every session is custom tailored to you individually, meeting u exactly where u are. Clients describe me as deeply attuned and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing unfolds and lasting change happens. Let’s embark on your healing journey!

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brooklyn

Finding a postpartum therapist in Brooklyn starts with identifying the type of support you need. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders — including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum OCD — affect roughly one in seven birthing parents. A licensed provider with experience in perinatal mental health can help you distinguish between common adjustment difficulties and symptoms that benefit from professional care. Look for therapists or psychiatrists who list postpartum or perinatal specialties, and consider whether you'd prefer talk therapy, medication management, or both.

With 2520 mental health providers across Brooklyn and greater New York City, narrowing your options can feel difficult — especially when you're short on time and energy. Think about what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions so you can attend from home, someone located near your neighborhood in Park Slope, Williamsburg, or Bay Ridge, or a therapist whose approach and background feel like the right match. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident in your choice.

Therapy in Brooklyn can be expensive, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
