Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I partner with children, teens, and families to provide comprehensive, compassionate mental health care. My practice specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), depression, and OCD. I believe in looking at the whole child, blending evidence-based medical management with therapeutic support to help your child thrive at home, in school, and in life.

What uniquely informs my psychiatric practice is my foundational background in pediatric neurology. This specialized experience allows me to deeply understand the complex intersection between brain development, neurological functioning, and behavioral health. When treating conditions like ADHD or OCD, I look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the underlying neurological drivers, allowing me to create highly precise, targeted treatment plans that standard approaches might miss.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Syracuse, NY

Finding family therapists in Syracuse starts with understanding what your family wants help navigating. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the people who may attend sessions.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local family therapists may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to therapists licensed in New York. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members, depending on your goals and the therapist’s approach. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio for details on session structure, availability, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find family therapists, review availability, and see whether they’re accepting new patients and what insurance information is listed on their profiles. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
