From my first clinical rotation in mental health, I knew that this was what I wanted to do. Today, as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, “I can offer people compassion and hope for the future.” My patients come to me wanting the best possible quality of life. They live with depression, dementia, anxiety, insomnia, mood disorder, schizophrenia, addictions, adjustment disorders due to various changes in life stages. Because they typically have many medical issues that also come into play, I work with them to ensure the best outcomes for both physical and mental health.  First and foremost, I am their advocate. Open, honest communication, a non-judgmental approach, and respectful attitude work best for my patients to open up. I try to make every patient feel comfortable and safe by being a good listener.I describe myself as compassionate, open-minded, and caring. Outside of work, I am an avid reader and animal lover, and have three cats and a dog. I love
houseplants and gardening and spending time outdoors in nature. I speak fluent Polish and go by Kasia, which is my Polish name. Words to Live By"To know one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo EmersonSpecialties and ExpertiseDepression, Dementia, Anxiety, Insomnia, Mood Disorder, Schizophrenia, Addiction, Adjustment Disorders due to changes in life stagesClient FocusAdults and Geriatric PatientsProfessional HistoryPelorus Elder & Behavioral Health, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse PractitionerBio Behavioral Health, Clinical Research Coordinator / PMHNPRWJBarnabas Health, Registered Nurse (Adult and Geriatric Psychiatry) Trinitas Regional Medical Center, Summit Oaks Hospital, Adult Psychiatry and DDD unitEducationPost-master’s Certificate in Advanced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner – Monmouth University, 2022Master of Science in Nursing Education – Western Governors University, 2016Bachelor of Science in Nursing – Saint Elizabeth University, 2012
