Hey, I’m Erica, a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New York, specializing in anxiety, depression, burnout, and college & graduate mental health. My strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care was established through my doctor of nursing practice in psychiatry at Mount Saint Mary College.

As a psych NP, my background includes treating a wide spectrum of mental health concerns, which supports a comprehensive and individualized approach to care.

My approach to mental health care is centered around empathy, active listening, and shared decision-making. I believe in creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where patients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and concerns. By actively involving patients in their treatment plans, I ensure that they are partners in their own care. This collaborative approach empowers them to make informed decisions and take ownership of their mental health journey. I prioritize personalized care, tailoring interventions to meet each individual’s unique needs, while drawing on evidence-based practices to guide treatment. My goal is to build trust and foster resilience, helping patients improve their overall well-being.
