I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a broad background in sociology. In my approach to treatment, I explore how culture, gender, and identity intersect with personality and neurochemical imbalances to produce psychiatric symptoms that impede daily functioning and interpersonal activities. Together with my clients, we determine the best pharmacological interventions to provide relief of these symptoms. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, assessment for post-traumatic stress disorder, Connecticut state registration for eligible clients for medical marijuana, and Suboxone treatment.

I work with adults (26 - 64 years old) to improve the quality of their lives through a collaborative process in which client and provider together devise treatment plans that combine medication and behavioral modification. I am especially interested in men's mental health, but I work with all adults regardless of their gender identity.

In a world that is increasingly busy and complex, life can be overwhelming for all of us at some point in our lives. It is at these times when we need to reach out for support. Don't feel you have to struggle alone. I invite you to reach out and make a connection.

My path into psychiatry began in surgery, where I originally planned to become a neurosurgeon. During medical school, I participated in a diving expedition and later worked on the Biosphere 2 project — experiences that immersed me in extreme environments and sparked a deep curiosity about how people think, feel, and relate to one another under pressure. That curiosity led me to psychiatry, and since then I have combined rigorous medical training with psychodynamic study to better understand and treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I provide telehealth psychiatric care to adults, adolescents, and children in Massachusetts and Connecticut, with a special focus on trauma, treatment-resistant conditions, and pediatric psychiatry, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Many of the people I work with have felt unheard or discouraged in previous treatment — and I take that seriously.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in New Haven

Finding psychiatrists in New Haven starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication plans. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and approach to medication management before booking.

New Haven has local psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Fair Haven, Wooster Square, and The Hill, and nearby availability may vary by schedule and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options when local in-person openings are limited or when regular travel to an office is harder to fit into your week. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy, with medication management visits that are usually shorter and less frequent. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Read bios to compare availability, session format, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in New Haven can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan, so you can compare profiles, review cost estimates, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
