Hi, I’m Susan, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 12 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New Jersey, specializing in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and insomnia. My Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry was completed at Maryville University, 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 a mixture of compassion and science. I empathize with my patients while concurrently gathering enough information so that I can accurately identify the problem and formulate an effective, evidence based treatment plan. I also understand that one has to take things day by day and step by step, as progress is not a straight line.

We’re likely a good match if you…

  • like when someone helps you feel grounded without even trying
  • hope to manage distractions with less stress
  • want to feel more present in your life
  • are trying to better your sleeping habits
  • are looking for ways to quiet the mental noise
