Hello! I’m Catherine, a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with 12 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New Jersey, specializing in ADHD, anxiety, college and graduate student mental health, and depression. My strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care was established through my master’s degree and psychiatric training at Wilkes University.

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