I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience treating adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. I work especially well with high-functioning professionals and women facing life transitions, burnout, or generational patterns.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management of ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your mental health journey.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, and burnout. A lot of the people I work with are high functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of worry and overthinking. You can expect me to be calm, warm, and steady. I’m not going to rush you or pressure you to “perform” being okay. I’m interested in how your life actually works day to day: your responsibilities, culture, family roles, and the ways you’ve been coping, not just a checklist of symptoms. Many of the people I see are used to taking care of everyone else; in our work, it’s allowed to be your turn to be the one who gets supported.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist 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.
