ABOUT ME

I am a licensed and board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who can evaluate, prescribe medication, and/or offer therapy. I am certified in EMDR therapy by EMDR International Association. I attended Monmouth University Marjorie K. Unterberg School of Nursing- obtaining a Master’s degree as a School Nurse in 2009 and a Post Master’s Certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Advanced Practice Nurse in 2017.

I began my career in nursing as a Registered Nurse in 1993. I have an eclectic resume- having worked in medical surgical, OB GYN and Post-Partum, community health/homecare, discharge planning and hospital liason, oncology, pediatric, psychiatric, and school nursing roles. I have over 30 years of experience working with special needs, learning disabilities, mental health, and neurodivergence.

I have a special interest in complementary treatment modalities, micronutrient deficiencies and supplementation, genetic polymorphisms (MTHFR, COMT), autoimmunity, inflammation, and infection and the intersection with psychiatric mental health. I have experience working with individuals with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder), PANS (Pediatric Acute Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), and Covid 19 related psychiatric mental health sequelae.

I am passionate about empowering individuals on their mental health journey! I enjoy meeting with individuals who are motivated to work together to develop personal insight and to consider the possibility for transformational change! Let’s revolutionize your mental health journey with unique, thoughtful, comprehensive, and intuitive approaches that serve your individual treatment needs and help you achieve your goals!
