I’ve taken the ADHD Care Pledge to support safe and thoughtful stimulant use

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Saluna, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 8 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New Jersey, specializing in anxiety, depression, family issues, and ADHD. My master’s degree and psychiatric training were completed at the University of Cincinnati, 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 focuses on fostering a partnership with the client for their health betterment and is rooted in client-centered care, evidence-based practice, and collaborative practice. My style prioritizes a holistic, empathetic, and respectful relationship with the client, with a strong emphasis on shared decision-making. Additionally, I incorporate evidence-based interventions and individualized care to ensure that treatment is both scientifically grounded and tailored to the unique needs of each client.

We’re likely a good match if you…
