Your mind and body are speaking—are you listening? As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in high-stakes intensive care, I understand what many overlook: mental and physical health are inseparable.
In critical care, I saw how stress, trauma, and anxiety manifest in the body—tight chests, sleepless nights, unexplained pain. And when the pandemic hit, I witnessed the silent emotional suffering of patients, families, and healthcare workers alike. That moment changed everything.
I chose psychiatry because healing your mind is just as vital as healing your body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like no one sees what you’re carrying—you don’t have to hold it alone. I’m here to help you reconnect, restore, and rise.
Let’s work together to make your mental wellness a priority. Click below to book your first step toward clarity, calm, and confidence.

I have been a family nurse practitioner since 2008 and board certified in psychiatry since 2024. As a provider I have always had a focus on mental health, as it is key to whole health! I have a background in palliative care and have extensive experience working with adult and geriatric patients. I am cisgender and straight but I welcome working with the LGBTQ+ community. I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and/or PTSD.
Please note that I do not treat ADHD with stimulant medications.
As a telehealth-only provider, I am unable to accept all clients. We will meet for an initial consult to see if we are a good fit, prior to committing to working with each other. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at The Mount Sinai Hospital.
I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, attention difficulties, mood instability, and major life transitions. I also support individuals in understanding how identity, relationships, culture, faith, and immigration experiences may influence their emotional well-being. I welcome people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and faith traditions. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, with additional training in trauma-informed treatment , Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) and dialectical behavior therapy(DBT).
When medication is appropriate, I will explain the available options and work with you to create a treatment plan that reflects your symptoms, preferences, medical history, and personal goals. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments.

Whether you’re seeking therapy, medication support, or both, I partner with you to develop a plan that works for your life, pace, and values.
