Whether navigating the complexities of trauma, the weight of burnout, anxiety, depression, ADHD or the nuances of mood disorders, her approach is rooted in quality over volume.

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. 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
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 Rensselaer
Finding psychiatrists in Rensselaer starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical background, and approach to care before booking.
Rensselaer is a smaller city, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby parts of the Capital Region. Virtual appointments can expand your search while keeping care covered by your plan when your benefits include that format. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Rensselaer 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 your first visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept your plan, so you can review bios, compare availability, 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.
