Sana is particularly committed to supporting college students, older adults, and BIPOC communities, drawing on her advanced training in anxiety, depression, insomnia, and ADHD to provide tailored, culturally competent care.

In addition to traditional psychiatric care, Sana also provides ketamine medication therapy in collaboration with a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) therapist, offering an innovative and evidence-based treatment option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Known for her warm, engaging, and non-judgmental style, Sana prioritizes establishing realistic and meaningful goals to support her clients' mental health journey. She earned her PMHNP-BC from Chamberlain University and gained valuable experience in inpatient psychiatry at St. Luke’s Hospital.

Outside of her professional work, Sana enjoys event planning with her children, traveling, and cooking. She offers virtual appointments and in-person sessions as needed, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for her clients.
