Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Tempestt, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 10 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New York, specializing in working with lgbtqia+ populations, anxiety, depression, and college and graduate student mental health. My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry was completed at St. John Fisher College, 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.
