Hello and welcome! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner 

and former Clinical Social Worker, and my work is guided by empathy, curiosity, and a 

deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit. I help people navigate a wide range 

of challenges—including depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, ADHD, and OCD—always 

with the belief that treatment works best when it’s a partnership. I enjoy working with 

clients who are ready to engage in the process, and together we create a safe, 

collaborative space to explore what’s possible. 

​

The world can feel overwhelming, especially during times of change or crisis. My role is 

to offer both the clinical expertise and the kindness you need to feel supported as you 

work toward your goals. Whether through medication management, therapy, or a 

combination of the two, we’ll focus on practical steps that lead to meaningful, lasting 

change. My goal is not only to reduce symptoms, but to help you feel more empowered, 

connected, and hopeful about your future. 

​

I’m continually inspired by the courage people show in facing life’s challenges, and I 

believe that growth is possible at every stage of life. My path to psychiatry began in 

social work, where I earned my MSW at Columbia University and spent years 

supporting patients in inpatient and outpatient settings. My passion for neurobiology

and psychopharmacology eventually led me back to school for nursing—first at Virginia 

Commonwealth University for my BSN, and then to the University of Pennsylvania for 

my MSN with a focus on psychiatric care. 

​

In my practice, I combine evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, and Motivational 

Interviewing with a whole-person perspective that values your story, your strengths, and 

your goals. I know that seeking mental health care can be intimidating—especially if 

you’ve had difficult experiences in the past—and I honor the trust it takes to take this 

step. In my free time I enjoy sports, nature, history, crossword puzzles and traveling. On 

occasion, I like to try out new activities, such as taking an art class or an improv comedy 

class. 

​

I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and walking alongside you in your 

journey toward healing and growth.
