Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in New York

My journey to becoming a mental health provider began with a desire to help others achieve greater self-insight and personal growth. Witnessing the impact that understanding oneself and developing effective coping strategies can have on one's life inspired me to pursue this path. After earning my degree from Columbia University and gaining experience in various settings, I became committed to gaining the skills needed to support individuals in their personal development and emotional well-being.

Are you looking for a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered in your care? I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I work with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood and personality disorders, substance use, life transitions, and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on meeting you where you are. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my pets, doing animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation, and being outdoors to recharge and stay grounded.

Attention, impulse control, and trauma-related issues are often misunderstood, stigmatized, and poorly treated. With time and treatment, patients who are affected learn to recognize and compensate for their symptoms. Self-acceptance brings appreciation for their own energy, strengths, and resilience. Many continue to exciting lives of high achievement and satisfaction. It is my privilege to accompany you on this journey.

Hello, I am a dual certified psychiatric mental health and family nurse practitioner with years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. I have a passion for helping individuals.

Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience across acute care, leadership, and education. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and complex mental health needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe in meeting people where they are and creating a safe space to be heard. Together, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, supportive, and centered around your goals.

As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.

It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!
