I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I began my journey to psychiatry as a registered nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2006. I spent 14 years gaining clinical experience working with adolescent and adult inpatients and in emergency departments and correctional facilities. After helping people at the bedside and working with multidisciplinary teams treating various psychiatric disorders, I realized this was a passion for myself and thus decided to advance my career as a PMHNP-BC. I am committed to supplying personalized and comprehensive care. My practice follows evidence-based guidelines and uses clinical experience, personal observation, and intuition. At MWP we provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and an individualized medication management plan with special attention to one’s needs. We believe that a holistic and innovative approach is ideal for the psychiatric population, their care, and illness management.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I dedicate myself to assisting my patients and their families on their mental health journey. My passion lies in understanding the unique needs of each individual. I make it a priority to listen attentively, allowing us to collaborate in the development of a personalized treatment plan. I specialize in the evaluation and management of various conditions, including ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, Substance Use Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Sleep Disorders, Disruptive behavior, and Impulse control. My care philosophy centers around a partnership between the provider and the patient, working as a cohesive team to achieve a shared goal. I believe in holistic care that goes beyond the neurobiological aspects of mental health and consider cultural, environmental, and psychosocial factors when crafting practical and achievable treatment plans acceptable to the patient.
