About
As a long-time women's health nurse and a mother of three, I understand the challenges of balancing personal identity, relationships, caregiving, and everyday responsibilities while also making space for your own mental health and wellbeing.
I am an ANCC board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 16 years of nursing experience. I earned my nursing degree and Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Delaware. Before becoming a psychiatric provider, I worked five years as an oncology nurse and 11 years in labor and delivery—experiences that taught me how physical health, well-being, and relationships are interconnected. I work with clients across the lifespan and treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, substance use disorders, and co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions.
My clients seek medication management, therapeutic support, and practical strategies to feel better and function more fully in their lives. I work collaboratively to understand each person's unique needs, identify meaningful goals, and develop a treatment plan that supports their path toward lasting mental wellness.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I use evidence-based medication management and practical strategies tailored to your needs. I provide a nonjudgmental environment. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, women's health, and substance use. Together, we identify patterns, build strengths, and develop strategies for well-being.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Dumont, NJ specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Dumont can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.
A psychiatrist will be able to help discern whether your symptoms are due to a medical cause, such as hypothyroidism or fibromyalgia, or a mental illness. Once a diagnosis has been made, a psychiatrist can recommend a medication that is designed to treat the biological factors associated with your diagnosis.
If you think you may benefit from psychiatric care, consider scheduling an appointment with one of our online psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks. You can schedule your appointment at our Thriveworks office in Dumont, NJ today and potentially even have a video session within the same week.

When discussing the possibility of medication for your symptoms, you will need to communicate with your psychiatric provider about any current medications you are taking, as well as any allergies you may have to medications or ingredients. You also will need to provide them with your medical history before starting any new medications.
Once a medication has been chosen, your psychiatric nurse practitioner will inform you of how to properly take your medication and any potential side effects it may cause. It is important to take your medication safely and properly to ensure that it is yielding the desired results.
If your medication is not yielding the desired results, tell your provider. They will be happy to prescribe a different medication, one that is a better fit for you.
If you believe that you may benefit from psychiatric care, consider working with a psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Dumont, NJ.
