I’m a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience working in ICU. My background in ICU shaped how I understand the deep connection between physical and mental health, especially how stress, trauma, and anxiety often show up in the body. I transitioned into psychiatry after witnessing firsthand the emotional toll the pandemic had on patients, families, and healthcare workers. It became clear to me that supporting people’s mental health is just as essential as treating physical conditions.

**Important for New Jersey patients seeking STIMULANT treatment:

Due to New Jersey state regulations, patients prescribed stimulant medications are required to attend an in-person visit at least once every three months. These visits are scheduled at my SoHo office in Manhattan.

Please note that there is a $100 facility fee for in-person visits to cover the cost of the clinical space. This fee is separate from insurance and is due at the time of the visit.**

Your mind and body are speaking—are you listening? As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in high-stakes intensive care, I understand what many overlook: mental and physical health are inseparable.

In critical care, I saw how stress, trauma, and anxiety manifest in the body—tight chests, sleepless nights, unexplained pain. And when the pandemic hit, I witnessed the silent emotional suffering of patients, families, and healthcare workers alike. That moment changed everything.

I chose psychiatry because healing your mind is just as vital as healing your body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like no one sees what you’re carrying—you don’t have to hold it alone. I’m here to help you reconnect, restore, and rise.

I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in New York

Searching for OCD therapists in New York starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder and exposure and response prevention therapy. Exposure and response prevention, or ERP, is a common evidence-based therapy for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. If you’re looking for support with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or related stress, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. Look for profiles that mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Across New York, available OCD therapy options can vary between New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and more rural areas. Virtual care can expand your search beyond the closest office while still letting you choose in-person care when location matters. As you compare therapists, look beyond whether OCD appears in a profile. A therapist who lists ERP training, OCD-focused experience, free phone consultations, and appointment times that fit your schedule may be a stronger match than one who notes general familiarity with OCD. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and supports people with OCD.

The cost of OCD therapy in New York can be significant without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, take your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 3076 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
