I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 35 years of healthcare experience. I provide virtual mental health care for adults through secure telehealth services, offering compassionate, patient-centered treatment designed to support long-term emotional well-being. Originally from upstate New York, I’ve spent most of my adult life in Florida building a career focused on accessible, high-quality care.

My healthcare journey began early in a family-run medical business and progressed through roles as an EMT, Paramedic, Registered Nurse, and eventually a Nurse Practitioner. After more than 20 years in nursing, I became a Family Nurse Practitioner and later completed advanced training in psychiatric and mental health care as well as obesity medicine. Throughout my career, I have seen how challenging it can be for patients to access timely, respectful mental health services, especially through traditional systems. That experience led me to focus on providing accessible virtual psychiatric care for adults.

Today, I offer telehealth mental health services for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, and life stress. My services include psychiatric evaluations, individualized treatment planning, and medication management when appropriate. I take a thoughtful, down-to-earth approach and prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and never judged.

My approach to mental health treatment is collaborative and personalized. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all care. Instead, I work closely with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and concerns, and we develop a treatment plan that fits their unique needs and lifestyle.

In addition to my clinical work, I spent several years as a foster parent in a therapeutic program, supporting children with emotional and behavioral challenges. Being part of their growth into confident young adults has been deeply meaningful and continues to inform my compassionate, patient-focused approach to care.

Outside of my professional work, I am a proud father and grandfather. My family also includes four dogs that share my life. Pets are family and make our lives richer. I also enjoy cooking, traveling, music, and lifelong learning. Over the years, I have earned a private pilot’s license, scuba certification, and ham radio license.

One of the advantages of telehealth psychiatric services is flexibility. Virtual care allows me to remain accessible and responsive while continuing to provide consistent, high-quality mental health care, wherever life may take us.
