I’m a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience working in ICU. My background in ICU shaped how I understand the deep connection between physical and mental health, especially how stress, trauma, and anxiety often show up in the body. I transitioned into psychiatry after witnessing firsthand the emotional toll the pandemic had on patients, families, and healthcare workers. It became clear to me that supporting people’s mental health is just as essential as treating physical conditions.
**Important for New Jersey patients seeking STIMULANT treatment:
Due to New Jersey state regulations, patients prescribed stimulant medications are required to attend an in-person visit at least once every three months. These visits are scheduled at my SoHo office in Manhattan.
Please note that there is a $100 facility fee for in-person visits to cover the cost of the clinical space. This fee is separate from insurance and is due at the time of the visit.**

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
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 Freehold
Finding the right psychiatrist in Freehold starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid entry points, depending on the support you want. Look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your specific needs.
Freehold has local psychiatry options, and virtual appointments can help widen your search when nearby availability is limited. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Freehold, review bios for clinical focus, appointment format, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Freehold 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 find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your plan. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review bios, 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.
