I am a nurse practitioner with a 2013 degree from Pace University. I began working in both outpatient and inpatient internal medicine settings after completing my training. Since 2018, I’ve shifted my focus towards mental health treatment, devoting the majority of my professional time to caring with psychiatric patients.
Over my work, I have treated patients with a variety of mental health diseases, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, psychosis, and others. I am dedicated to providing my patients with compassionate care and assisting them in achieving maximum mental health and wellness.
In addition to my work with patients, I believe in the necessity of mental health education for individuals and communities. I have conducted online and in-person talks and presentations on mental health-related topics.
