Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Donna, a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with 35 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New Jersey, specializing in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, burnout, and major life transitions. I also enjoy supporting college and graduate students, as well as individuals seeking greater purpose, balance, and personal growth through life coaching. My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry was completed at Fairleigh Dickinson University where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

Trained as a psych NP, I am a generalist with experience in treating a wide range of mental health conditions.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I believe in meeting patients where they are emotionally and personally, recognizing that each individual’s experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. I work alongside patients to help them gain insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and build confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.

We’re likely a good match if you…

  • feel safe opening up when the atmosphere is warm

  • hope to quiet your fears or worries
