About the Provider
As a board-certified nurse practitioner in psychiatry, I bring a wealth of clinical experience and specialized training to support you on your mental wellness journey. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University at Buffalo and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester. Along with my foundational education, I also completed a specialized clinical fellowship in forensic psychiatry, which helped me further develop my skills as a clinician and deepen my understanding of mental health.
​
My career has taken me through a variety of settings, including outpatient community mental health, private practice, and the military, allowing me to work with diverse populations and gain a well-rounded perspective on mental health care. As a combat veteran, I also have robust experience in military healthcare, where I learned firsthand the unique challenges service members face and how to effectively provide care in high-pressure environments.
​
I am originally from the Buffalo, New York area, and as a proud Buffalonian, I’m passionate about Buffalo sports and can never resist the classic combo of blue cheese with my chicken wings!
My vision is to create a space where mental health care feels accessible, personalized, and free of judgment. Everyone deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive, no matter where they are on their journey. Care at Solen Health is grounded in respect for each person’s unique path, with a focus on combining evidence-based psychiatry and holistic practices such as mindfulness and emotional well-being techniques.
The goal is simple: to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered as you move forward in your healing process — with the tools, support, and confidence to grow into the fullest version of yourself.
