If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of trauma, or exhausted by PTSD, healing is within reach. I am a compassionate psychiatrist whose practice is informed by a social-work lens. This means I look at the big picture—how social, environmental, and biological factors impact your mental health. My goal is to guide you from a place of survival to thriving. I provide careful diagnostic assessments and tailored treatment plans that respect your preferences, helping you safely process the past and reclaim control over your future wellbeing.
I am a triple board‐certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). This unique combination allows me to care for individuals across the entire lifespan, with a deep understanding of how physical health, hormones, trauma, environment, and life transitions shape mental well‐being.
My approach is collaborative, integrative, and rooted in both conventional psychiatry and functional medicine principles. I work to understand the root causes of symptoms—not just treat them—by considering biological, psychological, hormonal, nutritional, and environmental factors. Treatment plans may include medication management, lifestyle strategies, mind‐body approaches, and supportive therapy.
My style is warm, patient‐centered, and grounded in partnership. We build your plan together, ensuring it is evidence‐based, individualized, and flexible as you grow. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, or complex mind‐body concerns, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you toward lasting emotional and physical wellness.
As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with dual certifications in Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice, I provide compassionate, holistic care for both mental and physical well-being. With over 18 years of experience, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, or depression, I’m here to guide you toward a healthier, balanced life. Let’s work together toward the life you deserve.

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with more than 10 years of experience caring for adult patients across a variety of healthcare settings. Throughout my career in adult primary care, I developed a deep appreciation for the emotional and mental health challenges that often accompany physical illness, major life changes, and everyday stressors. This inspired me to pursue a second specialty certification in psychiatric mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in East Meadow
Finding the right psychiatrist in East Meadow starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy, and some people choose therapy, psychiatry, or both. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and approach to care before booking.
East Meadow is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of Long Island or New York City. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a psychiatrist who accepts new patients and fits your schedule. Psychiatry visits, including medication management appointments, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you compare appointment style, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Psychiatric care in East Meadow 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 your first visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, verifies that they are accepting new patients with your plan, and shows your estimated cost before you book. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you are 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.
