I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I have dedicated my career to promoting mental wellness and self-fulfillment in children, adolescents, young adults and their families.
treatment Philosophy
I am a warm, caring, empathetic, and energetic provider. I view my role as one of support, guidance, and partnership. My goal is to help you or your child reach full potential and mental wellness.
I speak English, Italian and Spanish fluently.
I believe that healthy and positive change occurs through direct partnership with the individual, and also, impacting systems (family, community, schools, cultures).
Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and Carl Roger’s Person-Centered Theory best define my treatment philosophy of providing individuals with a warm, accepting, client-centered approach to support growth and change towards one’s full potential; while, taking into account the impact of systems (family, school, community, culture) on an individual’s ability to change.
