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.
I help you simplify your medications and narrow down to 1-2 medications that work best for you. My patients would describe me as thoughtful and caring. I strive for patient focused care and manage symptoms with medications that you feel comfortable taking. You set the pace of your treatment. I believe in informed and collaborative decision making.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rockville Centre
Finding psychiatrists in Rockville Centre starts with knowing what type of care you want to explore. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical background, and approach to medication management before booking.
In a smaller market like Rockville Centre, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual visits can help expand your options across New York. Some people prefer an office nearby, while others choose virtual appointments for easier scheduling. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look for appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available to help you assess fit.
Psychiatric care in Rockville Centre can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find many psychiatrists who take insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, review psychiatrist 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.
