Down to earth and very open minded. I believe in complete transparency and accountability.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
I provide compassionate, collaborative care for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and actively involved in your treatment.
My style is warm, practical, and patient-centered. I work with you to better understand what you are experiencing, identify meaningful goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs. With my background in both mental health and family practice, I take a whole-person approach to care that supports both emotional well-being and overall wellness.
I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience, including emergency care. I am passionate about mental health and providing holistic, patient-centered treatment through a combination of medication management and therapeutic support. My goal is to help patients feel heard, stabilized, and empowered in their care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Kingston, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Kingston starts with knowing which type of mental health support fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support through conversation-based care. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a strong place to start. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach so you can choose someone whose background matches what you want help with.
Kingston is a smaller city, so local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you search for psychiatrists licensed in New York. Psychiatric care also tends to follow a different rhythm than therapy: medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than talk therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each bio for details on appointment format, availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Kingston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, compare bios, and book directly when you are 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.
