I was born and raised in Poland and moved to the United States at the age of 17. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) certification from Arizona State University in 2017. My passion for advancing my clinical expertise led me to complete an Emergency Medicine Fellowship at NYP-Weill Cornell Medical Center in 2019, becoming a Certified Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP). Over the years, I have practiced in New York and Florida in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and concierge medical practices. In 2023, I expanded my expertise into psychiatric mental health and became a certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) after completing my psychiatric education at Wilkes University.

I have always embraced a holistic approach to treatment, recognizing that medical conditions can sometimes mimic psychiatric symptoms—something that is often overlooked in conventional psychiatry. To enhance my ability to treat patients comprehensively, I pursued an Psychiatry Redefined Integrative and Functional Psychiatry Fellowship, where I learned how to apply both conventional and functional medicine principles to mental health care.

My approach to integrative psychiatry is deeply personal. Living with Type 1 Diabetes and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, I have firsthand experience of the profound impact chronic illness can have on mental well-being. This journey has strengthened my conviction that the mind and body are inseparable and that mental health care must reflect this connection.

In my practice I consider the impact of environment, lifestyle, and medical conditions on mental health. My goal is to ensure that patients feel heard, not rushed, and to collaborate with them in decision-making to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their values and needs.

"Verde" is the Spanish and Italian word for "green," and symbolically, green is often associated with:

• Growth and Renewal – Representing new beginnings, healing, and personal development.

• Nature and Vitality – Linked to the natural world, health, and sustainability.

• Balance and Harmony – Signifying emotional and physical equilibrium.

  The Dandelion symbolizes resilience, hope, transformation, and the power of perseverance. Its ability to flourish in even the harshest conditions and its seeds, scattered far and wide, carry the promise of new beginnings and endless growth.
