I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider from Evergreen and a board-certified practitioner who has worked across the states in various communities. I have worked with all aspects of care, from mental health to chronic care. I attribute a lot of my "patient-centered care" to the diverse patient population set I have served. This diversity, as I state, "has made way for understanding how similar we are as individuals and communities, as well as understanding the intricate differences we each have." "Patient autonomy" and "patient empowerment" are the foundations of my approach. Patients should be heard, educated on all aspects of their concerns, and finally be able to make a well-informed decision on their plan of care.

I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I can provide psychiatric evaluations, prescribe medications and be a part of your support system.

I was trained in New York City, received my Bachelors from NYU and my Masters from Hunter College. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, and have a special interest, and certification, in perinatal mental health. Pregnancy and parenthood bring forth a unique set of mental health concerns, and I am passionate about helping new parents through this time in their lives.

With over 20 years of nursing experience and advanced credentials, including a Doctorate in Nursing Practice focused on Lifestyle Medicine, I’ve helped countless individuals transform their health.
