HI! I am a nationally certified nurse practitioner, specializing in Oncology and Mental Health. I obtained my bachelor of science in nursing from Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT and earned my advanced degree as a nurse practitioner from Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT. I hold three national board certifications with the American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC): Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Adult Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) as an advanced oncology-certified nurse practitioner. I am an active member of several professional organizations including the American College of Nurse Practitioners, Sigma Theta Tau, and the International Honor Society of Nursing. I have gained extensive experience from working at the Veterans Administration, geriatric extended care facilities, and community mental health clinics. I am highly trained in cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, Strength-based Therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDRNETWORK).
My areas of clinical expertise include multicultural psychology, trauma, Christian counseling, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, stress, pregnancy, postpartum, prenatal, and health issues. I am also dedicated to educating and empowering patients to maintain optimal health. If you are reading this, it's likely because you are struggling, and I can offer the help you need.
