I am a clinical social worker with specialties working with pregnant and parenting folks as well as young children and their families, with a special interest in trauma-informed, neurodiverse-affirming practice.

I understand welcoming a new baby to the family comes with a host of challenges and changes: from hormonal shifts and changes in our brains and bodies to changes in employment, lifestyle, relationships, and reflecting on our own experiences of being parented. I am highly experienced in working with pregnant, birthing, postpartum, and parenting folks with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders—or just struggling with the changes in demands, identity, and daily structure

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of healthcare experience, providing telehealth psychiatry and virtual care to patients across New York. My strong medical background helps me recognize the vital link between

mental and physical health, allowing me to deliver thoughtful, integrated psychiatry services rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

I focus on medication management for anxiety and depression, along with adult ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma and PTSD management, using thorough psychiatric assessments, medication management, and supportive therapy for stress, burnout, and mood disorders. I also have particular experience in women’s mental health,

including postpartum depression and the concerns that often go unaddressed in general psychiatric care.

My aim is to foster a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected. I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it’s collaborative and personalized

I work closely with each client to develop a tailored

treatment plan that promotes emotional well-being, stability, and an improved quality of life.

All appointments are conducted through secure virtual care, and I accept insurance through Headway, so cost is rarely a barrier to getting started.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Buffalo

Finding a postpartum therapist in Buffalo starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and other perinatal mood concerns are common, and support from a qualified healthcare professional may help. Look for a licensed provider such as an LCSW, LMHC, or psychologist who has specific experience with perinatal mental health. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you commit.

With providers practicing across Buffalo, Amherst, Tonawanda, and the greater Erie County area, you have options for both in-person and virtual sessions. Virtual appointments can be especially practical when you're caring for a newborn and leaving the house feels like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider's specialty, their availability, or whether they offer a free introductory call.

Postpartum therapy in Buffalo can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
