I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about helping people feel better and function at their best. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, insomnia, mood changes, and substance use. My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative, and I take time to listen without judgment. Together, we will create a treatment plan that feels practical, personal, and supportive.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for integrative, whole-person care. By blending the principles of integrative psychiatry with a deep understanding of adult medicine, I am committed to treating the mind and body as a unified system. I believe that true wellness requires dedicated attention to both.
My 18 years of experience in this field enables me to address a wide range of patient needs. I am committed to providing flexible, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population. From the time of the first appointment (and consistently thereafter), the patient and I will review their reasons for seeking care, discuss current challenges and stressors, and identify treatment goals. This information guides my formulation of an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs and objectives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Connecticut
Finding psychiatrists in Connecticut starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and other forms of support. Psychiatric care may include an evaluation, medication management, and follow-up visits for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Across Connecticut, your options may vary between larger cities and smaller communities, so it helps to look for a psychiatrist whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address.
Your search may look different in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, or other parts of the state. Some people prefer in-person visits near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling options. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s profile for appointment availability, areas of focus, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Psychiatric care in Connecticut can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, check whether they take your plan, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
