Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Jennifer, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 25 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New York, specializing in religion/spirituality, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and loss/grief/bereavement. My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry were completed at Columbia University School of Nursing, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.

Like to put people at ease and help them feel comfortable. I have an easygoing, conversational style and am happy to answer questions while we work together. I meet people where they are and leave judgment out of the equation. I love empowering patients by teaching them the skills they need in order to manage their emotions. I am firmly of the belief that people can change if they want to – there is no need to stay unhappy or stuck.

We’re likely a good match if you…
