Mental Health Care for Children, Adolescents, Families, and Adults
As a licensed Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and a Developmental Psychologist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families achieve meaningful personal growth through integrated mental health care. With over 15 years of experience in psychiatric mental health and psychotherapy, my practice combines evidence-based therapeutic approaches with medication management when appropriate. My training at institutions like Columbia University and Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology has equipped me to address complex emotional and behavioral challenges across the lifespan. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, and family dynamics while maintaining a holistic perspective that considers biological, psychological, and environmental factors. My approach emphasizes creating a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can develop practical coping strategies and build upon their inherent strengths.I actively engage in both clinical practice and academic instruction, currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Columbia University Medical Center. My commitment to cultural competence is reflected in my fluency in four languages and experience working with diverse populations across multiple international settings. Through personalized treatment plans, I help clients navigate life transitions, improve interpersonal relationships, and achieve optimal functioning in their daily lives. My research contributions and conference presentations on topics like preventive interventions for depressed parents demonstrate my dedication to advancing mental health care practices. I maintain active memberships in professional organizations including the American Psychiatric Nurses Association and the International Society of Psychiatric Mental Health Nurses.
