(She/Her/Hers)
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Specializing in reproductive psychiatry, anxiety, ADHD, and depression—personalized care to help you thrive.
With over 8 years of nursing experience in NYC, including labor and delivery and pain management, I bring expertise in bereavement care, maternal mental health, and reproductive psychiatry. I’ve worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and postpartum psychiatric conditions. Sessions focus on medication management, therapy-informed care, and collaborative goal setting. Whether you’re navigating postpartum challenges, managing ADHD, or seeking to improve overall mental health, I’m here to provide compassionate, evidence-based support. Together, we’ll create a safe space to develop practical tools and coping strategies, helping you build autonomy and thrive in all aspects of life. I specialize in working with pregnant women, postpartum women, college students, veterans, young professionals, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I strive to meet every client where they are with personalized, whole-person care. Let’s create a plan that fits you and your goals.
