You want to feel more in control—of your thoughts, time, emotions—but right now, it may feel like everything is slipping through the cracks. I’ve spent time on the research side of mental health, but it wasn’t until I began working directly with patients that I truly felt able to help people create lasting change. I bring both scientific insight and deep compassion to every session, integrating therapy and medication management to provide personalized care that meets you where you are. I specialize in ADHD, eating disorders, and women’s mental health concerns, including pregnancy, fertility challenges, and postpartum transitions.
Our work together will feel collaborative and validating, with space for curiosity, growth—and a little humor when it’s needed most. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate from Columbia University, but I’m also a needlepointer, a quilter, and someone who values making things by hand.
I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, and I genuinely enjoy learning about the unique strengths you bring to the table. If you're curious about how we might work together, feel free to reach out—I'd be honored to be a part of your journey forward.

With most appointments covered by insurance, I make getting the care you need simple and stress-free. The majority of patients pay $35 or less for appointments, including copays, deductibles and coinsurance. No insurance? We offer low-fee care with supervised students for NY and FL patients.

I combine medication management with cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps reframe negative thinking, and acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on aligning actions with personal values. I also offer executive function coaching to support organization, time management, and follow-through, especially for patients with ADHD.
