Great to meet you! I believe mental health care is most effective when it is built on a foundation of mutual respect, active listening, and genuine support. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and major life transitions. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, so I prioritize a relationship where you feel heard not just as a patient, but as a person.
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist with more than 22 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and telepsychiatry settings.
Throughout my career, I have helped adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, trauma-related conditions, somatic symptom disorders, and other complex psychiatric illnesses. I also specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders, including medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine (Suboxone) for opioid use disorder.
My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner was inspired by personal experiences. The stigma of mental health obstructs many people's journeys to achieving happiness.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in West Hartford
Finding psychiatrists in West Hartford starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication; therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and other mental health concerns. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match what you want support with.
West Hartford has local options, but nearby appointment openings may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Connecticut, especially if you need care outside standard work hours or prefer to avoid travel. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer talk therapy. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s profile to understand their focus areas, appointment style, consultation options, and whether they are accepting new patients.
Psychiatric care in West Hartford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see an estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verifies whether they are accepting new patients with your plan, and shows available appointment times. You can compare profiles, review care options, 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.
