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.
I believe that each person brings a unique story shaped by their life experiences, values, and cultural background. My clinical work has taken place across a variety of settings—including academic institutions, state hospitals, and community mental health clinics—which has helped me develop a flexible, respectful, and collaborative approach to care.
I have a growing focus on women’s mental health, perimenopause, and menopause and am completing additional training in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). As a former Registered Dietitian, I also incorporate evidence-based nutrition and supplements into care. When appropriate, I integrate CBT strategies into sessions to support meaningful change beyond medication alone.

I believe that every individual deserves to be heard, respected, and treated with compassion.

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 York
Finding psychiatrists in York starts with knowing what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support. Medication management may be part of care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both, depending on what they need.
In a smaller city like York, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Pennsylvania markets. Virtual appointments can give you more choices while still letting you stay close to your schedule, and in-person care may be a better fit if you prefer an office setting. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer medication management, and whether they also provide therapy. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s focus, communication style, and experience with York behavioral health needs before you book.
Psychiatric care in York can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find psychiatrists who accept your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer clear cost estimates before your first session. You can compare virtual and in-person options, review psychiatrist profiles, 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.
