I work collaboratively to create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, talk therapy, and alternative treatments. My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards improving their overall well-being.
I have been in the mental health field for over five years with experience working with both adolescents and adults. I received my Masters of Science in Psychiatry from Walden University.

I utilizes mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet the needs of every client in their own unique way. In addition, I am a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the American Psychiatric Nurses Association. I believe that one of the most crucial factors in becoming an effective Advanced Practice Nurse is promoting hope to individuals and families with mental illnesses, to instill self-responsibility and empowerment, and in helping individuals living with mental illness seek a meaningful role in life. With this, I hope to help clients meet their goals and live the life they value and desire. I offer services in both English and Farsi.

How do you work with clients with depression?
I work with clients experiencing depression through a comprehensive and compassionate approach. First, I conduct a thorough assessment to understand their unique experiences and symptoms. Building a trusting therapeutic alliance is essential, allowing clients to feel safe in sharing their thoughts and feelings. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help them challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier perspectives.
"I am dedicated to putting patient safety and comfort first, while also promoting dignity and well-being. With a solid background in psychiatric evaluations and treatment, I aim to provide compassionate care to those in need. At You Bridge Health, where I currently work, I conduct thorough psychiatric assessments and create personalized treatment plans. I collaborate with a team of experts to ensure each patient gets the best care possible. I also prescribe and monitor medications, always tweaking them to find the right balance for each individual. Educating patients and their families about mental health is a big part of my role because informed patients are empowered patients. Previously, at Amity Healthcare Services, I provided psychotherapy and counseling using proven methods like CBT and DBT. I also managed the medication needs of my patients and ensured all documentation was accurate and up-to-date. During my time at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital, I cared for patients with both acute and chronic mental health issues in an inpatient setting. From administering medications to working closely with a multidisciplinary team, I strived to create a supportive and effective treatment environment. In my earlier role at Cooper University Hospital, I focused on cardiac patient care and maintaining strict safety protocols while using the Epic electronic health record system. This experience taught me the importance of detailed record-keeping and patient education for long-term wellness. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, involving patients and their families every step of the way. My goal is to help my patients understand their conditions and feel comfortable and confident in their treatment plans. Your mental health journey is important, and I'm here to support you through it. As a PMHNP, I treat patients through a holistic, collaborative approach that includes comprehensive assessments, evidence-based interventions, and ongoing support tailored to their individual needs. Building a strong therapeutic alliance is essential, so I prioritize empathy, respect, and clear communication, ensuring patients feel heard and empowered in their care. The value I hold most as a provider is fostering trust, as it creates a safe space for patients to openly share their experiences, leading to more effective treatment outcomes and promoting their overall well-being.
