Hello, and welcome! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions.
My approach to psychiatric care begins with listening. I believe every person has a unique story, and understanding your experiences, concerns, and goals is the foundation of effective treatment. My priority is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care.
I take a patient-centered, holistic approach, looking beyond symptoms to understand the whole person. Rather than treating diagnoses alone, we will work together to identify what is causing you the most distress and address it one step at a time. I carefully review your psychiatric history, including previous medications, what has or hasn't worked, and any side effects you've experienced, so we can develop a treatment plan that is individualized, practical, and based on the best available evidence.
My treatment philosophy combines medication management with education, supportive therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and collaborative decision-making. I strive to identify the root causes contributing to your symptoms while helping you build lasting coping skills and improve your overall quality of life.
Above all, patient safety, compassion, and collaboration guide every decision I make. My goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and participating in decisions about your care. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that supports your mental wellness and helps you achieve meaningful, lasting progress.

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 New York
Searching for psychiatrists in New York starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication needs. Therapists focus on talk therapy and may work with you alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, reviewing each psychiatrist’s listed specialties can help you find someone whose training matches what you want to address. Across New York, available care can vary between urban and rural areas, so a clear sense of your needs can make the search easier.
Practical fit matters, too. A psychiatrist in New York, NY may offer different scheduling options than a psychiatrist in Buffalo, Albany, or other parts of upstate New York. Consider whether you prefer in-person appointments near you or virtual visits that fit more easily into your schedule. Psychiatry visits for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details about appointment structure, communication style, available times, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in New York 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 care begins. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see whether a psychiatrist is in network and view an estimated cost before booking. Headway shows psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and can be booked 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.
