Great to meet you! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from Hofstra University. My path in healthcare has taken me through both inpatient and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported people during some of their most vulnerable moments. These experiences shaped how I practice today with empathy, patience, and a deep respect for each person’s story.

My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, empowered, and more in control of your mental health. My approach to therapy In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but more importantly, I focus on meeting you where you are. In our first session, we’ll take the time to talk through what brought you in, what you’ve been dealing with, and what you’re hoping to feel or change. There’s no pressure just a space for you to be open and heard. As we work together, we’ll gently explore how your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are connected. I’ll help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck and give you simple, practical tools to challenge negative thoughts and manage overwhelming emotions.

What you can expect from me I take the time to really get to know you, not just your symptoms, but your story, your experiences, and what you’ve been through.

I am a board certified psychiatric mental health and family nurse practitioner with over 20 years’ experience in the medical field.

My heart and passion are in caring for others and assisting my patients achieve their full potential through health and wellness.

Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that we as humans are most balanced when we feel safe and understood, non-judgmentally. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I strive to ensure that clients are provided the space to effectively express themselves in a way that makes sense to them. I have years of experience working with college students like you who may be feeling overwhelmed with the load of academics, expectations, and also trying to maintain a social life and practice self-care. Sometimes, just having a neutral person to talk to is all you need. My approach to therapy is prioritizing your needs and personalizing sessions to reflect that. Specifically, the therapeutic styles that I utilize are Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe that therapy is done at your pace. Ultimately, therapy is about recognizing that your mental health matters (just as much as physical health) and valuing the process to get there.

My approach to therapy is based on the idea that if we can gain self-awareness and insight into our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, then we can learn and develop the skills we need to have more satisfying relationships, with ourselves and others, and better cope with life's challenges.

My approach is influenced by C.G. Jung, Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning) Socratic dialogue, Buddhism and Quaker meetings.
