I am a licensed psychologist and professional counselor with extensive experience providing care for individuals with a wide range of life challenges. My experience encompasses both inpatient and outpatient settings as well as NY State CPEP (comprehensive psychiatry emergency program) care, inpatient detox and rehabilitation, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programming (IOP), and medication-assisted therapy for addictive disorders.
I am also experienced in the areas of corrections and forensics, having worked with individuals both during and after incarceration, addressing the unique mental health challenges associated with incarceration. I also work with individuals who have been impacted by crime/violence.
My approach is comprehensive and focuses on you as an individual. In addition to being a psychologist, I am a Pennsylvania state-licensed and board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). Please note: Although I am a licensed nurse practitioner, I use this knowledge to help discern between counseling needs versus mental health disorders which may require medication intervention (and I make referrals to psychiatry as indicated). I do not prescribe medications in my practice.
