Finding a compassionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who actively listens to your concerns with empathy is crucial for navigating the complexities of managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, and difficulties with focus and attention. For adults, this journey often involves reestablishing connections both with others and with themselves, recognizing that healing goes beyond medication alone. Adolescents face additional challenges, including bullying, academic stress, and struggles in school, highlighting the importance of support tailored to their unique needs.

I am a Georgetown University trained psychiatrist with an extensive postgraduate training and experience. I practice evidence-based psychopharmacology, psychodynamic psychotherapy and integrative medicine. I specialize in intense short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) that can lead to rapid and permanent recovery from a wide range of problems including anxiety, depression, loneliness, self-esteem and relationship problems, anger management issues, self-destructive behaviors and psychosomatic conditions. This model of therapy is very efficient and often works, even when previous therapies failed, or were only partially successful.

NOT Accepting New Clients at this time: I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a special interest in working with adults experiencing life disruptions from anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, and some mood disorders. I received my Bachelor’s in Science in Nursing from South University. After graduating from nursing school, I was an ER nurse for 8 years, where I experienced firsthand the gap between medical and psychiatric care, and how the mind/body connection is often ignored. These gaps encouraged me to pursue my PMHNP degree. I received my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University.
