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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Pittsford, NY
Searching for psychiatrists in Pittsford starts with knowing 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 medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through different approaches. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care style to see whether their background matches what you want to address.
Pittsford is a smaller market, so nearby in-person appointments may be limited at times. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options across the Rochester area while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists who fit your schedule and preferences. Psychiatric care often involves shorter, less frequent appointments than therapy, especially for medication management. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read profiles for details on availability, session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Pittsford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance details, preferences, and care needs. You can compare profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, 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.
