Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults on their mental health journeys.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe that understanding yourself is the foundation of healing, and I focus on giving my clients practical tools, education, and guidance they can use every day—not just during sessions.

In our first session, I take the time to truly listen and understand your story, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll create a personalized and realistic treatment plan designed to support your growth, emotional well-being, and long-term success.

I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward. My goal is to help you build confidence, develop lasting skills, and become the strongest version of yourself—one step at a time.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University, and I specialize in working with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices that support healing and personal growth.

With a background in both outpatient and community-based settings, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult moments. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward change. Whether you're managing overwhelming emotions, healing from past trauma, or working toward sobriety, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward at your own pace.

I welcome clients from all walks of life and believe therapy should feel like a supportive partnership. If you're ready to begin or continue your healing journey, I look forward to working with you.
