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

I provide care to clients across New York and California, specializing in anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and ADHD, with a certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry was completed at the University of Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

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