Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Greetings & welcome. As a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I offer brief therapy & medication management to adolescents & adults. Medication is not the best fit for everyone & together we can find your path.

I hold a certification in Wellness Counseling from Cornell University & believe that diet, activity and spending time doing what nourishes you, all contribute to healing. Together we can explore your goals & treatment options.

I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders, and I bring deep personal motivation to this work — mental illness has touched my own family, and that experience shapes how I show up for every client. I know how prevalent it is, and I believe with my whole heart that there is no shame in struggling or in seeking help. My greatest strengths are patience and a genuine drive to help people transform how they feel and rediscover that life can be better. Outside of sessions, I enjoy thrifting, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors with my family.

Psychoanalytic therapy is often maligned but it remains for me one of the few treatments that seeks to address the innermost, often hidden, parts of ourselves. Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain that comes alive when spoken to a professional listener. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.

I have full diagnostic privileges as a LMHC. I have worked in a variety of settings and with a variety of different populations including those with trauma and substance abuse histories and those who struggle with severe mental ill diagnoses

With the use of therapy or medication I can treat you or your child so that impairments can be identified and the ability to function more easily is achieved.

My training allows me to diagnose and give treatment recommendations based on my assessment which consists of an evaluation gathering personal history, psychosocial and environmental stressors, and symptom review. I can help you understand the diagnosis and determine the cause of the difficulty with the use of medication or psychotherapy.

I am a double Board Certified Psychiatrist with Specialty Fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I completed my Adult Residency Training and Child and Adolescent Fellowship training at North Shore Long Island Jewish Hospital affiliated with Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2009 and 2011 respectively.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience treating adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. I work especially well with high-functioning professionals and women facing life transitions, burnout, or generational patterns. My background includes leadership and program development, and I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding into my work.
