A Little About Me

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my primary focus is to provide you with my full presence and deep care. This goal, along with the provision of state-of-the-art psycho-pharmacology offered in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion, are best achieved, I believe, by working as a team. As we get to know each other, my desire is to hear you deeply–your past experience, your concerns, worries…and your joys and successes. It is within this alliance that, together, we will discover the best paths forward for you, be they a change in medication, lifestyle, the addition of psychotherapy, meditation or whatever else may be beneficial.

After graduating from Cornell, I received a Masters in Nursing from Massachusetts General Hospital, followed by a post-master’s as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at the University of California in San Francisco. My areas of clinical focus are mood disorders, trauma, attentional disorders (ADHD, etc.), sleep disorders and women's mental & emotional health.

As a specialist in reproductive psychiatry, I treat postpartum mood & anxiety disorders, menopausal mood changes, PMS, infertility & how societal values & gender roles can influence our sense of well-being. It would be my pleasure to discuss any collaborative relationship we may form together. Please feel free to reach out; I’d be pleased to speak with you.
