I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist with more than 22 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and telepsychiatry settings.
Throughout my career, I have helped adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, trauma-related conditions, somatic symptom disorders, and other complex psychiatric illnesses. I also specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders, including medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine (Suboxone) for opioid use disorder.
Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York State, practicing out of New York City. I work with adolescents and adults who experience a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, the after-effects of trauma, overthinking, procrastination, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and challenges related to identity and values. I also specialize in working with family members of individuals who suffer from severe mental illness.
I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.
My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.
I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for addiction therapists in Syracuse starts with finding care that fits the kind of support you need. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, chemical dependency, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who can coordinate with other healthcare professionals when needed.
In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local addiction therapists may vary by location, schedule, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed therapists in New York. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and has experience with nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed care. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach, what addiction-related concerns they list, and whether their communication style feels like a practical fit.
Addiction therapy in Syracuse can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
