I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at The Mount Sinai Hospital.
I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, attention difficulties, mood instability, and major life transitions. I also support individuals in understanding how identity, relationships, culture, faith, and immigration experiences may influence their emotional well-being. I welcome people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and faith traditions. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, with additional training in trauma-informed treatment , Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) and dialectical behavior therapy(DBT).
When medication is appropriate, I will explain the available options and work with you to create a treatment plan that reflects your symptoms, preferences, medical history, and personal goals. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments.
Hi there! I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a focus on medication management and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of people, from adolescents and college students to professionals and older adults. I’ve gained experience helping individuals navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and psychosis.
I am a certified SIPS (Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes) assessor through Yale PRIME Psychosis Risk Clinic. Additionally, I hold a Post-Master's Certificate in Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from NYU and completed my Integrated Substance Use Disorder Training Program (ISTP) from NYU Langone Health.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults on their mental health journeys.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe that understanding yourself is the foundation of healing, and I focus on giving my clients practical tools, education, and guidance they can use every day—not just during sessions.
In our first session, I take the time to truly listen and understand your story, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll create a personalized and realistic treatment plan designed to support your growth, emotional well-being, and long-term success.
I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward. My goal is to help you build confidence, develop lasting skills, and become the strongest version of yourself—one step at a time.
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.
I am a board-certified Psychiatrist (medical doctor) providing virtual care throughout NY and PA. I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. I include therapy in my 30-min follow up sessions, though do not offer weekly 1-hour therapy sessions. Many of my patients also work with a therapist.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Pleasantville, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Pleasantville starts with knowing what type of care you want to search 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 be part of your care as well. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.
Pleasantville is a smaller community, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger New York cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still giving you access to psychiatrists licensed in New York. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management appointments than weekly therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Pleasantville 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 you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your insurance. You can enter your plan details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, read bios, 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.
