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

Hey, nice to meet you! I’m Sheena, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 20 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New York, specializing in mood disorders, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and life transitions. My master’s in nursing and psychiatric specialization was completed at 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 is warm, compassionate, and inviting. My style is client centered, client focused and client driven; based on their needs not my agenda. They know they are the most important person on their treatment team.

We’re likely a good match if you…

  • could use more calm moments in your day
  • are trying to quiet the “what if something goes wrong” voice
  • are trying to bring a bit more ease into your life
