Here to Help You Heal
Board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, stress, and times when they simply don't feel like themselves. I especially connect with people who are curious about themselves and want to understand not only what they're feeling, but what may be contributing to it. You may be looking for relief from symptoms, support with medication, or a space to better understand patterns that keep showing up in your life. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to live.
I know that reaching out for mental health care can feel vulnerable, especially when you're trying to find someone you can trust and feel comfortable talking to. Good care, I believe, starts with feeling heard, respected, and understood as a whole person. Working together, my hope is to be someone you can talk to openly as we make sense of what's going on and figure out what will genuinely help, so you can feel better, understand yourself more deeply, and move toward a life that feels healthier and more fulfilling.
My Approach to Care
I believe mental health is deeply connected to how we live, feel, and function in our everyday lives. Along with medication management, I like to look at the bigger picture, including sleep, nutrition, movement, physical and metabolic health, relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. I'm particularly interested in nutritional psychiatry and the connection between physical and emotional well-being, and also draw from psychodynamic and insight-oriented approaches to help uncover patterns that may be influencing how you feel or relate to others. Most importantly, I want our work to feel useful and personal to you, not like a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
With me, you'll find warmth, curiosity, and an open-minded, nonjudgmental space to be yourself. I ask questions, listen closely, and genuinely want to understand what life looks like from your perspective, while also valuing shared decision-making so you understand the "why" behind your treatment and feel comfortable asking questions along the way. My style is thoughtful but practical, and we'll work together to find an approach that fits your needs, values, and goals.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner grew from my nursing background and a longstanding curiosity about people — what shapes us, how our experiences affect us, and what helps us heal and grow. Working in acute and inpatient settings, including during the height of the pandemic, deepened my understanding of how closely our mental and physical health are connected. Those experiences shaped my belief that we can't meaningfully care for one while ignoring the other, and strengthened my commitment to providing thoughtful, whole-person psychiatric care.
Personal Interests
Outside of work, I'm a competitive endurance runner and lifelong sports enthusiast. Beyond that, I love being outdoors, exploring NYC, traveling, and trying new foods. I'm endlessly curious and enjoy reading and learning about psychology, nutrition, metabolic health, exercise physiology, and the latest science on health and human performance.
