Hello! I am a Columbia-trained and Columbia-affiliated psychiatrist who specializes in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I provide evidence-based medication management to clients seeking care. Since becoming a PMHNP, I have worked in different settings such as community health, substance use and women’s health. I have a true passion for working with the LGBTQ and BIPOC communities. I focus on empowering clients within these communities to help them understand possible treatments for their mental health concerns and provide a therapeutic approach to care.
I am a board certified nurse practitioner with extensive experience in both outpatient and inpatient treatment setting. I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and PTSD. My goal is to provide a thorough evaluation and help you to decide the best treatment option for you. I am also a NYS Medical Marijuana Program Provider.
I am dual board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. After several years of clinical practice, I earned my doctoral degree in 2021. My experience spans both behavioral and family health settings, including hospital-based behavioral health units, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient care.
I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, and PTSD. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and emphasizes holistic, collaborative care.
Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, goals, and values through a shared decision-making process.
I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment and to addressing disparities in mental health care. If you’re struggling, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to support you with compassion, expertise, and care.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding psychiatrists in Patchogue starts with knowing whether psychiatric care, therapy, or both fit what you are looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on support for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or relationship concerns. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before you choose a first appointment.
In a smaller Long Island community like Patchogue, nearby in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for someone licensed in New York. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and how each bio describes communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Patchogue can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs for psychiatry. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify coverage for your plan, and see an estimated cost before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and most take insurance, making it easier to compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care, 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.
