Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Lacy, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 13 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New Jersey, specializing in ADHD, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. My Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry was completed at California State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.
Trained as a psych NP, I’m a generalist with experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions.
My approach is rooted in a holistic philosophy, recognizing that mental well-being is closely interconnected with physical, emotional, and social health. I prioritize a patient-centered approach that emphasizes listening, understanding, and addressing the unique needs of each individual. By integrating both traditional medical treatments and alternative therapies, I aim to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. This includes promoting lifestyle changes, mindfulness practices, and providing education on self-care strategies. My goal is to empower my patients, helping them develop the skills and support systems they need to achieve lasting mental wellness and a sense of balance in their lives.
