Much of my work focuses on people who haven't found answers in standard approaches — especially women whose symptoms have been misunderstood, oversimplified, or missed entirely.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Integrative psychiatric care for adolescents and adults in New Jersey.

About

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner, board certified in psychiatric mental health nursing and certified in perinatal mental health. I trained at Wilkes University, where I'm now returning as a doctoral student — because the questions my patients bring deserve more rigorous answers than the field has offered so far.

Years of clinical work revealed the same pattern: standard diagnostic frameworks miss important pieces, especially for women and particularly at midlife. That gap is the focus of my research and the foundation of how I practice.

Care That Goes Deeper

Many people arrive here having done everything right and still not felt better.

Whether you're navigating anxiety that won't quiet down, a mood that's hard to name, a trauma history that keeps resurfacing, or a diagnosis that never quite fit — this is a space where the full picture gets attention.

Care at Arise Wellness integrates medication management with brief supportive therapy, behavioral strategies, lifestyle education, and a holistic understanding of mind and body. Lab work and genetic testing are considered when appropriate.

Together, we look more closely — at patterns, physiology, and lived experience — to build something that actually holds.

My approach is curious, collaborative, and unhurried. I believe your symptoms make sense when the full picture is understood.
