Compassionate care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and perinatal mental health. Therapy and medication tailored to your needs.

Struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or perinatal mood disorders? Finding the right support matters. As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate from Columbia University, I specialize in helping young adults, college students, and individuals from diverse backgrounds achieve their mental health goals. Whether you're navigating academic pressure, perinatal challenges, or spiritual questions, I tailor care to fit your unique needs. With experience in therapy and medication management, I provide evidence-based treatment for ADHD and other conditions, combining psychopharmacology expertise with behavioral therapy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to tackle obstacles and embrace growth. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and develop strategies that work for your life. My practice is collaborative and patient-centered because you’re the expert in your life—I’m here to help you thrive.
