I am a Columbia University trained, Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner affiliated with NYU Langone Hospital, Bellevue Hospital Center and with the NY State Office of Mental Health. I have 10+ years experience treating patients with depression, anxiety, insomnia, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and I've been in private practice since August of 2020, available via telehealth or in person  at my office location in NYC and Westchester County.  

 

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

 

My treatment approach is based on a holistic model that factors in one’s  genetic makeup, social, cultural and spiritual beliefs, trauma history and personal experience and/or beliefs about mental health treatment.  I provide medication management and collaborate with a team of therapists, medical providers and lifestyle coaches (nutrition, fitness and sleep hygienists) as experience has taught me that the journey towards mental wellness isn’t “a one-size fits all” affair and often times requires a variety of approach. 

 

Medication is but one of many tools available and as a provider it is my role is to support and walk alongside you in your unique journey towards mental wellness and self-actualization. Thuis,  I encourage all of my patients to also explore other forms of therapies from EMDR, CBT, DBT or whichever "alphabet soup" floats your boat which may include  mindfulness, exercise, massage, yoga, healthy diet,  spirituality, community and play!
