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.**
Your mind and body are speaking—are you listening? As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in high-stakes intensive care, I understand what many overlook: mental and physical health are inseparable.
In critical care, I saw how stress, trauma, and anxiety manifest in the body—tight chests, sleepless nights, unexplained pain. And when the pandemic hit, I witnessed the silent emotional suffering of patients, families, and healthcare workers alike. That moment changed everything.
I chose psychiatry because healing your mind is just as vital as healing your body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like no one sees what you’re carrying—you don’t have to hold it alone. I’m here to help you reconnect, restore, and rise.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Kingston, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Kingston starts with knowing which type of mental health support fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support through conversation-based care. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a strong place to start. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach so you can choose someone whose background matches what you want help with.
Kingston is a smaller city, so local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you search for psychiatrists licensed in New York. Psychiatric care also tends to follow a different rhythm than therapy: medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than talk therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each bio for details on appointment format, availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Kingston 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 who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, compare bios, 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.
