I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in both medical and behavioral health care. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real-world experience—helping clients feel understood while working together toward meaningful change.

My professional journey has included years of practice across inpatient, community, and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their goals and develop strategies for wellness and resilience.

I believe effective care blends clinical knowledge with empathy, respect, and open communication. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.

I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

My work as a therapist has included supporting clients throughout various stages of life and throughout all walks of life. I am extremely passionate about providing my clients with an understanding, compassionate, non-judgmental space, where my clients can work towards creating and maintaining healthy relationships, not only with others, but also with themselves.

I aim to assist in overcoming the challenges and obstacles client’s are faced with in their day-to-day lives. Helping clients overcome challenges and obstacles surrounding, but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma and grief/bereavement.

I attended Rutgers University for my Bachelor’s degree and Master's degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in New Jersey

My ideal client is someone who has been carrying a lot of anxiety that feels constant, sadness that lingers, or the impact of past experiences that still shape their day-to-day life. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. What they want most is to feel understood, supported, and capable of navigating life with more ease. They want relief from the weight they carry, but they also want to reconnect with their strengths, build confidence, and live in a way that feels authentic to them. My ideal client doesn’t need to have all the answers they just need the courage to take the first step.

I have worked in the field of mental health for 16 years in a variety of settings including emergency rooms, mobile crisis, residential treatment, community homes, and adolescent transitional housing, and virtual based crisis work. In addition, I have also worked with the public safety (police and corrections) community. As a 1st generation Caribbean American, I also have ties to the Caribbean community and have provided clinical services to many members of the Diaspora.

My specialty is being relatable and making people comfortable in therapy. My unique perspective helps you recognize your strengths to become the person you want to be and live the life you want to live. Together, we will assess all aspects of your life, use a variety of proven therapies that suit you, and find the best ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
