PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.

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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Vestal, NY


As an adult with ADHD, chances are you deal with emotional overwhelm and chronic self criticism-maybe even more than disorganization and distraction. My focus in treatment typically includes practical strategies, emotion regulation, insight-oriented work, and skill-building tailored to real-life demands. Clients can expect improved focus, steadier emotions, stronger boundaries, and greater confidence in daily life.

As an adult ADHD therapist with over 35 years of experience, I specialize in helping neurodivergent adults tackle the daily challenges that feel overwhelming, such as: Starting tasks when you don’t know where to begin Keeping track of deadlines Following through on projects Handling intense emotions and rejection sensitivity Decision-making Routine building

ADHD isn’t just about getting things done—it also impacts how you see yourself and your place in the world. In our work together, we will address the deeper emotional and identity challenges that come with ADHD. Together, we’ll build personalized systems that actually work for your brain while also creating space for reflection and growth.
