ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New York

I work with individuals (children and adults), couples and families with a wide range of challenges and diagnoses.

I have 30 years of clinical experience. My therapeutic style with clients is direct, grounded, and deeply compassionate. I believe in creating a space that is both supportive and structured, where clients feel respected, heard, and challenged in meaningful ways.

I bring a calm, steady presence, particularly in high-stress or crisis situations, helping clients feel contained and focused even when things feel overwhelming. At the same time, I am honest and straightforward—I don’t avoid difficult conversations, but I approach them with care, professionalism, and respect.

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents working through trauma, shame, relationship/family difficulties, and mood disorders. I have experience working with a broad range of ages, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, sexualities, and family compositions.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in care for women, children, and adolescents, with a strong focus on ADHD, anxiety, and mood concerns. Many women seek care during periods of burnout, emotional overload, or major life transitions, and I provide calm, supportive, and collaborative care during these difficult moments. I also work closely with parents, helping children and teens feel safe and understood while supporting families with clear guidance and thoughtful treatment planning.

Everyone deserves to be the main character of their story. I am here to support and guide you in believing that. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental space that allows you to gain deeper insight into your emotions, thoughts, and relationships so you can heal and grow. Through compassion, acceptance, and a little bit of humor, I will join you on this journey to releasing the parts of you that no longer serve you so you can show up authentically you no matter what. I accept every person exactly as they are. If you’re looking for thoughtful, compassionate therapy that combines depth with practical tools, I’d welcome a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.

As a licensed psychologist, I help clients achieve their goals and overcome challenges through a collaborative and evidence-based approach. Using a culturally responsive cognitive behavior therapy framework, I create a safe space for self-exploration and making meaningful change. Working together, my clients have reported improved mood, relationships, and self-image. I have helped clients change unhelpful habits, adjust to life transitions, and reach their goals.

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Let's work together to build healthy strategies you can implement to manage through life's challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or daily life stressors, I am here to help.

I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.

I have worked in the healthcare field for over fifteen years, with a strong background in emergency medicine, and behavioral health. The last 15 years have prepared me to continue to be a leader in the profession.

I am a dedicated mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. In my free time I enjoy cooking, traveling, and getting back into running.

I have excellent clinical skills, empathy, and an attentiveness to detail. I am a patient advocate with strong interpersonal skills.
