I am a compassionate and dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to providing high-quality mental health care to individuals. I strive to help patients achieve emotional wellness, stability, and improved quality of life.

My approach to care is patient-centered, evidence-based, and collaborative. I believe in building trusting relationships with patients, families, and caregivers while creating individualized treatment plans that address both mental and physical health needs. I am experienced in managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, schizophrenia, mood disorders, behavioral disorders, and other complex psychiatric conditions.

I also bring valuable experience working with children and adolescents facing emotional, behavioral, developmental, and academic challenges. I am skilled in evaluating and treating conditions such as ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, oppositional behaviors, trauma-related disorders, autism spectrum-related concerns, and mood dysregulation. I work closely with parents, guardians, schools, therapists, and pediatric providers to create comprehensive treatment plans that support emotional growth, school success, and family functioning.

In addition, I have extensive experience working with geriatric populations and individuals living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurocognitive disorders. I am skilled in assessing cognitive decline and managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia such as agitation, aggression, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and psychosis, while promoting dignity, safety, and quality of life. I collaborate closely with families, caregivers, nursing staff, and interdisciplinary teams to develop supportive care plans and provide education regarding disease progression, behavioral strategies, and medication options.

I’m a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience working in ICU. My background in critical care shaped how I understand the deep connection between physical and mental health, especially how stress, trauma, and anxiety often show up in the body. I transitioned into psychiatry after witnessing firsthand the emotional toll the pandemic had on patients, families, and healthcare workers. It became clear to me that supporting people’s mental health is just as essential as treating physical conditions.

**Important for New Jersey patients seeking STIMULANT treatment:

Due to New Jersey state regulations, patients prescribed stimulant medications are required to attend an in-person visit at least once every three months. These visits are scheduled at my SoHo office in Manhattan.

Please note that there is a $100 facility fee for in-person visits to cover the cost of the clinical space. This fee is separate from insurance and is due at the time of the visit.**
