About Rose Marie

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 13 years of experience supporting adults in their mental health and recovery journeys. Throughout my career, I have worked as both a nurse clinician and nurse practitioner in community mental health settings, including providing outpatient behavioral health services. I specialize in addiction medicine and treat alcohol and opioid use disorders, as well as a range of behavioral health concerns. My approach centers on respect, dignity, safety, and whole-person well-being.

I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Quinnipiac University. I utilize medication-assisted treatment using Suboxone, buprenorphine, oral naltrexone, and acamprosate. I prioritize building strong therapeutic alliances and collaborative treatment plans.

I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can openly share your concerns and work toward your recovery goals. Together, we will develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs, helping you strengthen resilience, gain stability, and move forward with confidence.

"Building a trusting, compassionate partnership is the foundation of meaningful mental health care and lasting recovery."

Get to know Rose Marie

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I chose the field of psychiatry to understand my personal family traumas and dynamics and to provide supported therapy to other families who have also experienced emotional wounds or deep traumatic adversities from their broken family system.

What types of clients do you work best with?

Adults and geriatrics

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Recovery is possible as we work toward your personal goals in partnership

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

Building genuine trust, acceptance, respect and purpose for the referral or reasons for seeking behavioral health treatment will be established. The initial psychiatric assessment may last between 60 to 90 minutes; effort will be made to collect past mental health treatment, substance use history, comorbid medical history, family history, psychosocial history, current medications (prescribed, herbal supplemts and OTC's), any imminentt safety concerns and so forth.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

A component of Christian cunseling may be provided with patients' agreement or consent

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

Psychotherapy should be incorporated or offered in combination with pharmacotherapy; The psych provider should be able to determine which therapy approach that is compatible or appropriate for different individuals.
