I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in medication management and psychiatric evaluations. As an ER nurse for 15 years in the Psychiatric emergency department and spending the first half of my Nurse practitioner career on an inpatient psychiatric unit before going to outpatient, I have been there with people and helped them through their roughest days.

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, ask questions about treatment, and feel empowered to make choices that support your mental health. Whether you’re seeking therapy, medication support, or both, I partner with you to develop a plan that works for your life, pace, and values.

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 Patchogue
Finding psychiatrists in Patchogue starts with knowing whether psychiatric care, therapy, or both fit what you are looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on support for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or relationship concerns. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before you choose a first appointment.
In a smaller Long Island community like Patchogue, nearby in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for someone licensed in New York. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and how each bio describes communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Patchogue can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs for psychiatry. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify coverage for your plan, and see an estimated cost before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and most take insurance, making it easier to compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care, 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.
