Introduction

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, providing comprehensive psychiatric care for adolescents and adults. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders. I offer statewide telehealth services in Delaware and Pennsylvania, delivering compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each client’s unique needs. My focus is on helping clients gain clarity, improve functioning, and navigate life’s challenges with practical strategies and ongoing support. In our first session, I take the time to understand your story, clinical history, and current concerns. Together, we identify the most appropriate path forward through comprehensive assessment, medication management when appropriate, and supportive, solution-focused approaches, while encouraging ongoing psychotherapy when beneficial. My approach is collaborative, structured, and individualized, with an emphasis on clear treatment planning and meaningful, sustained progress.
