I have over 30 years of experience in mental health nursing. I provide evidence-based, compassionate, and holistic care tailored to each individual's unique journey. My extensive background across all ages includes high-acuity partial hospitalization, inpatient care, crisis intervention, developmental pediatrics, and case management with vulnerable children in foster care. These experiences give me a deep understanding of the complex challenges my patients navigate. Since I transitioned into the role of a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in 2020, I have focused primarily on supporting children, teens, and their families. While my heart lies in pediatric and family work, I also enjoy supporting young adults and those who are 'young at heart'. I am particularly passionate about helping families manage mental health concerns. For children and adolescents who have been previously diagnosed with higher functioning Autism, I can help to treat the additional mental health concerns such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I can advocate for students with mental health concerns and secure the school accommodations they need to thrive. My goal is to see you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms, ensuring you feel respected and understood every step of the way. Outside of my practice, I recharge as an avid outdoorswoman. You can often find me mountain biking, fishing, clamming, or hiking—usually with my Brittany Spaniel, Sugar, by my side. I am credentialed with Cigna & Horizon New Jersey through Grow Therapy https://growtherapy.com/book-appointment?id=50859&utm_source=provider-sourced&utm_medium=booking-link&utm_campaign=provider-dashboard. I also accept credit cards and can provide a super bill and help with reimbursement I started my practice Turning Tides Mental Health Services to provide care in a personal professional manner.
