I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience, including emergency care. I am passionate about mental health and providing holistic, patient-centered treatment through a combination of medication management and therapeutic support. My goal is to help patients feel heard, stabilized, and empowered in their care.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers caring, evidence-based medication management across the lifespan. I focus on treating ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and insomnia, and I work closely with each person to understand their unique experiences and goals.
I believe mental health care should be supportive, never rushed or judgmental. My approach is patient-centered and practical. I take time to listen, explain your options, and include you in every treatment decision. Whether you are starting medication, making changes to your current plan, or seeking more balance and clarity, I want you to feel heard and empowered.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and I offer psychiatric services through Telehealth, allowing clients to attend appointments from the comfort and privacy of their own space.
Starting mental health care can feel overwhelming, and many people seek support when they feel stressed, stuck, or unsure how to cope. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly. Together, we’ll work to understand your challenges and develop strategies that support healing, resilience, and lasting emotional well-being.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself lately? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I specialize in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and more.
Down to earth and very open minded. I believe in complete transparency and accountability.
Attention, impulse control, and trauma-related issues are often misunderstood, stigmatized, and poorly treated. With time and treatment, patients who are affected learn to recognize and compensate for their symptoms. Self-acceptance brings appreciation for their own energy, strengths, and resilience. Many continue to exciting lives of high achievement and satisfaction. It is my privilege to accompany you on this journey.

My thirteen plus years of experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner includes: emergency room, outpatient, inpatient, addiction, and assertive community treatment team settings.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Oneonta, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Oneonta starts with understanding the type of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage psychiatric care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. 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 before choosing a fit.
Oneonta is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home, especially if your schedule, transportation, or distance from an office affects which appointments work for you. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and the bio details that explain communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Oneonta can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and review estimated costs upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and you can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.
