Philosophy

My goal in working with patients is to understand each patient’s unique story and development to create an individualized treatment plan. This plan may include psychotherapy, medication management or both. I believe that mental health treatment should be pragmatic, evidence-based and collaborative.

Treatment approach

My style in working with patients is eclectic and largely draws from principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I prioritize the goals of patients so that the care they receive is holistic and draws upon their existing strengths.

Credentials

I am board-certified as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and licensed to practice in New York State.
