History

I have been a Nurse Practitioner since 2004. We are the only other profession, besides that of an MD, that can diagnose, prescribe and treat mental illness using medication mangement and talk therapy. I was graduated from NYU Graudaute School Of Nursing, and received my BSN-RN from William Paterson University in NJ Regarding my track record - Yelp is removing/filtering most of my good reviews (apparently they are too good and therefore not believable), and allowing 2 negative reviews, which are not true (written by the same person who I haven't seen for over 3 years) - to influence my overall rating. Please also check the filtered reviews for additional information/ feedback/ perspective. Not everyone can be helped, no matter how good we might be. And it's important to find the right provider for your needs and personality style. Thanks.
