Brighter Life Psychiatry, PA
Let me congratulate you for taking the first step at improving your tomorrow. Making the decision to seek support for your mental wellness can be overwhelming.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, my role is to assess, diagnose and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs. If medication is recommended, it will be prescribed in combination with other healthy lifestyle modifications important for us all. I work with clients across the life-span assisting them to live high quality lives.
I understand from personal experience the impact psychotropic medication can have on one’s life. If you are facing challenges in your personal or professional life due to feeling sad, irritable or anxious you may benefit from medication. I specialize in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, mood instability, adjustment disorder and attention concerns.

As you are exploring possible providers, I understand the pressure to find a good match. One of the many benefits of working with me is time. I am creating my private practice around you. I will not overbook or double book. I won’t be rushed from one appointment to the next. During your session, you will have my undivided attention. I want you to feel valued, understood and excited to keep working towards improving your mental wellness.
I am a skilled provider with years of clinical practice and experience. I am invested in helping you achieve your treatment goals as modestly as possible. During your time with me you can expect compassion, empathy and tons of motivational interviewing.
