Meet David

I am a Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner. I have been an advanced practice NP since 2015. I obtained my undergraduate degrees in Nursing and Psychology from Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA. I obtained my graduate degree from Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, PA and finished a post master’s for psychiatric mental health at Wilkes University in Wilkes Barre, PA. My goal has always been to help the underserved and assist complex patients in regaining independence with physical and mental health. I welcome the challenge of treating multiple medical and psychiatric issues with open arms. As a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I offer supportive therapy, medication management, and healthy lifestyle advice. Nutrition and exercise are not simply supportive but vital to maximizing your well-being. Through prescriptions and motivational interviewing, I will help you reach your peak potential. My philosophy combines holistic medicine and nursing with mindfulness, breathing, proper nutrition, and medication management. My patients value my dual certifications because I focus on the whole individual. I am passionate about empowering you to find your own personal energy to live a healthy life.
