I’m currently completing my Nurse Practitioner training at Columbia University. My approach is holistic, integrative, and collaborative, rooted in the belief that mental health care is most effective when it attends to mind, body, and spirit. I aim to create a safe and honest space where clients feel empowered to remove their masks and engage authentically.

Before entering the mental health field, I spent eight years as a Forensic Certifying Scientist at LabCorp, where I held leadership roles and collaborated across teams. It was work that emphasized precision, teamwork, and continuous learning.

After transitioning into nursing, I began my clinical career in the Emergency Department and now work as a Behavioral Health nurse. In this position, I’ve supported acute stabilization of clients with diverse mental health needs, including psychosis and suicidality. I’ve also facilitated group interventions and developed a deep appreciation for therapeutic communication as a foundation for trust and growth. Across these environments, I’ve valued collaboration, curiosity, and person-centered engagement.

Clinically, I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and relational stress. I’ve primarily worked with women facing emotional challenges and life shifts. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, improved emotional regulation, and more fulfilling interpersonal dynamics.

My therapeutic approach draws from Bowenian theory, person-centered therapy, and tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support regulation and resilience. I often incorporate reflective practices like journaling, mindfulness, and psychoeducation, with a focus on building insight, autonomy, and sustainable growth.

I have a particular passion for reproductive psychiatry and supporting people through the emotional complexities of infertility, conception challenges, and early perinatal loss. My interest in this area is deeply personal, shaped by my own experience with early-term loss and the lack of mental health support that followed. That experience continues to drive my dedication to improving access to compassionate, informed, and integrated care during vulnerable reproductive transitions.
