I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner providing telehealth medication management for adults across New York. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns.

My approach is structured, evidence-based, and focused on measurable improvement. We work together to clarify what’s driving your symptoms and create a clear, practical treatment plan. When medication is appropriate, I aim for options that are effective, well-tolerated, and sustainable long-term.

I primarily work with adults seeking focused, collaborative psychiatric care via telehealth.

What I Treat Most Often

  • ADHD (attention, focus, executive functioning concerns)
  • Anxiety and panic
  • Depression
  • Mood instability
  • OCD
  • Burnout and stress
  • Sleep concerns

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management through secure telehealth appointments for adults in New York.

My approach is collaborative, creative, and grounded in body awareness and compassion. I’m a licensed, board‐certified Art Therapist with training in somatic and sex therapy. My work is culturally responsive and affirming, especially of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC identities. I’m passionate about helping people heal from shame, body disconnection, and identity‐related challenges, and about supporting couples navigating differences in desire and intimacy. My background in art therapy shapes sessions that often weave creativity, expression, and the body as pathways toward healing. I hope that therapy can offer you a deeper sense of belonging.
