Introduction

At Health Mentis, I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. Seeking support is a sign of strength, and I am here to provide compassion and judgment-free care. With over 15 years of clinical experience in critical care, emergency medicine, and mental health, I bring a strong foundation in patient-centered care. My early work at institutions like Memorial Sloan Kettering and NewYork-Presbyterian shaped my commitment to supporting patients through complex and vulnerable moments. These experiences led me to pursue board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) through the ANCC. Today, I provide comprehensive, evidence-based mental health care across the lifespan, with a focus on compassionate, client-centered treatment. I provide a safe, judgment-free space to explore thoughts and emotions while working toward meaningful change. Whether through therapy, medication, or lifestyle adjustments, I tailor each session to their unique needs, helping them build clarity, resilience, and control. With a compassionate, culturally sensitive approach, I aim to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the confidence to move forward toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
