For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of caring for patients as a nurse practitioner specializing in women's health. Throughout my career, I have seen firsthand how closely our physical health, emotional well-being, life experiences, and mental health are connected. This understanding has shaped the way I approach patient care and ultimately led me to pursue advanced training in psychiatric mental health so that I could expand the care I provide and better address the whole person.

I began my nursing career in 1998 as a graduate of the Saint Vincent Health Center School of Nursing. I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Penn State University and my Master of Science in Nursing from the University at Buffalo. For more than two decades, I have practiced as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, caring for patients through a wide range of reproductive and life stages. My extensive background in women's health has given me a unique perspective on the relationship between physical and mental health. This understanding led me to pursue additional specialized education in psychiatric mental health. I completed a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing at Carlow University, expanding my clinical training to include psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacologic treatment. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide individualized psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health conditions.

In addition to my clinical practice, I have served as a clinical educator and mentor to both undergraduate and graduate nursing students, and I currently serve as adjunct faculty at Carlow University. Education has always been an important part of my practice. I believe that helping patients understand their symptoms, treatment options, and the factors that may influence their mental health can empower them to take an active role in their care.

Most importantly, I want my patients to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. I understand that reaching out for mental health care can be difficult, and I strive to create a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment where patients feel comfortable speaking openly about their experiences. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to understand what you are experiencing, develop an individualized treatment plan, and help you move toward greater stability, confidence, and quality of life.
