I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience, caring for individuals from diverse backgrounds across healthcare and community settings.
My clinical background includes approximately one year working with men experiencing homelessness, where I conducted psychiatric evaluations to identify diagnosed and previously unrecognized mental health conditions that could affect employment, housing stability, and daily functioning. This experience strengthened my understanding of how mental health, life circumstances, and social challenges can impact overall well-being.
I also have extensive experience in postpartum and maternal health, giving me a unique understanding of perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns. While this remains a special area of interest, I provide psychiatric care to adults with a wide range of mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and sleep difficulties.
At NurtureNest Behavioral Health, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and supportive therapy using a compassionate, evidence-based approach. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward greater emotional well-being and an improved quality of life.
I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.
I am a dual certified provider with over 17 years of prescribing experience. My primary care background allows me to carefully consider co-existing conditions in managing your care. Maybe you cannot see a way forward because you are not feeling your best. My goal is to help facilitate treatment to help you improve your mood and provide symptom relief.
I also have same-day appointments that work within your schedule to make mental health care easy and accessible.

Through medication managed crisis intervention work in these areas, I have learned to support your journey through medication stabilization, a lot of humor about the triggers and stressors life gives us and foundational guidance.

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 Newburgh
Finding psychiatrists in Newburgh starts with knowing what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, grief, and stress. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical focus, and approach match what you want help with.
In a smaller city like Newburgh, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of Orange County or New York City. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you find care that fits your schedule. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you review profiles, check appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how they describe their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Newburgh can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, compare virtual and in-person options, and see estimated session costs upfront. You can review bios, confirm 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.
