Hi, I’m Jordana.

I am a Doctoral trained Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 20+ years of health care experience and 18 years of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy expertise.

I received my Doctorate and Master’s degrees from the prestigious Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) IHP in Boston. I provide a safe environment and partnership with my clients. I customize pharmaceutical and therapy solutions based on individual needs. 

I began my career at MGH in 2002 as a researcher investigating the neural pathways of thought disorders and the brilliant mind. I became fascinated with restructuring negative thought patterns and enhancement of cognitive abilities, and was inspired to transition from research to clinical practice.

My vast experiences as a researcher, nurse, clinical nurse specialist, and nurse practitioner inform my understanding of human emotions and enhance my ability to diagnose and manage various psychological and psychiatric conditions. 

Licensed in NY, NJ, CT and FL

I have expertise in treating insomnia, depression, generalized anxiety (worry), panic disorder, OCD, specific phobias, attentional disorders (ADHD), addictions, disordered eating, bipolar I and II disorders, and long Covid (PASC).

I am trained in CBT, CBT-I, motivational interviewing, perinatal care, mindful parenting, couples solutions, executive, date and health coaching. I focus on creating a warm therapeutic environment where clients are free to share their inner experience and emotions. Using an eclectic approach which incorporates holistic and psychopharmacology techniques, I work with clients across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, those who are considering pregnancy, pregnant, breast, bottle, formula feeding, and of course geriatric patients or those with various medical conditions. I also work to decrease the discomfort of perimenopause and menopause and optimize longevity with the assistance of HRT (hormone replacement therapy). I recognize that medications affect everyone differently, and customize treatment for each individual client. My main goal is to maximize treatment benefits with minimal side effects. I also customize treatments for mindful eating and weight management coaching.

I am a native New Yorker and relocated back to NYC in 2010 to join the National Health Service Corp. I worked full time at NYU Langone’s Brooklyn campus with underserved clients from 2010 to 2016. I continue to work at NYU Langone Hospital’s Brooklyn campus.

Outside my practice, I am an active member of the NYC medical community, and am committed to sharing knowledge and providing services for various organizations.

• I was a board member of Nurse Practitioners of NY from 2010-2019.

• I was the Chair of the Educational Committee and strive to bring continuing education to primary care and specialty health care professionals in the NYC area.

• I have lectured to numerous primary care practitioners on psychopharmacological therapies. I have taught numerous medical and nursing students since 2007 and have lectured at NYU Langone, One Medical and various perinatal practices.

• I have also been featured on Doc Radio.

• I also volunteer with You Can Thrive (YCT), a nonprofit holistic cancer organization.
