FOUNDER AND CLINICAL DIRECTOR

Expertise You Can Trust, Empathy You Can Feel!

As a double-board certified psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience in the medical field, I believe that true healing happens at the intersection of world-class science and deep, human empathy. My mission is to provide a sanctuary where individuals of all ages feel seen, heard, and supported through a personalized roadmap to well-being.

Clinical Excellence as a Foundation

My path to expertise is built on rigorous training and a passion for psychiatric innovation. I began with groundbreaking research at NYU, followed by comprehensive residency and fellowship training at Rutgers and Hofstra/Northwell, where I was honored for clinical excellence.

To ensure my patients benefit from the gold standard of modern medicine, I consistently engage in advanced professional education through Harvard Medical School.

This commitment to ongoing education, combined with my published research and international lectures, allows me to bring the latest evidence-based practices directly to your care.

A Collaborative Path Forward

I don’t just treat symptoms; I partner with you. Whether you are navigating your own mental health journey or seeking a specialist for your child, I provide a collaborative and non-judgmental space to address:

My Commitment to You

As a physician, I rely on evidence-based rigor; as a person who understands the complexities of modern family life, I rely on intuition and compassion. At Pearl Psychiatry, I bridge these two worlds to help you move past your challenges and toward a truly fulfilling life.

Trust, Empathy, and Deep Understanding

I believe that the best care begins with a relationship built on trust, empathy, and deep understanding. With over 25 years in patient care, I have had the privilege of walking alongside many individuals on their journey toward healing. At Pearl, I blend my deep clinical expertise with a heart for genuine connection, ensuring that every time we meet, you feel fully heard, supported, and truly seen for the unique individual you are.

Clinical Excellence as a Foundation

My clinical foundation was built at world-class institutions, including Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell University Medical Center. I bring the most current, evidence-based treatments directly into the warmth of our sessions at Pearl.

My Approach to Your Wellness

Because I am dual-certified in both Psychiatric Mental Health (PMHNP) and Family Medicine (FNP), I bridge the gap between your physical and mental health. I look at the whole picture of your well-being.

I treat children, adolescents, and adults, supporting families through every stage of life. Whether navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, or complex conditions, I am here to help.

I have a deep heart for women’s mental and hormonal health. I specialize in helping women find balance through the challenges of postpartum depression, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), perimenopause, and menopause.

My Commitment to You

My philosophy is a blend of rigorous science and a holistic heart. I partner closely with you to create a thoughtful, individualized plan that fosters long-term resilience and balance.

Collaborative and Patient-Centered Approach

As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over seven years of clinical experience, I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns.

With over 7 years of clinical experience, I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach that emphasizes comprehensive assessment, thoughtful medication management, and individualized treatment planning to promote both symptom relief and long-term wellness.

Clinical Excellence as a Foundation

Prior to becoming a PMHNP, I worked as a psychiatric registered nurse at respected medical centers including Hackensack Meridian Health, RWJ Barnabas Health, and Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, where I provided care in voluntary and involuntary psychiatric units serving both adult and pediatric populations.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based psychiatric care. My clinical experience across diverse medical and psychiatric settings has shaped my calm, empathetic, and safety-focused approach.

Compassionate, Personalized, and Evidence-based Psychiatric Care

At Pearl, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based psychiatric care in a safe and supportive environment. I believe that mental health is an essential part of overall well-being, and every individual deserves to feel heard, respected, and understood.

My Commitment to You

At Pearl, my goal is to help you achieve stability, resilience, and improved quality of life through thoughtful, respectful, and professional psychiatric care.
