Anxiety Therapists in New York

I support clients with anxiety by conducting thorough evaluations to assess anxiety symptoms and prescribe appropriate medications. Regular follow-up sessions, conducted in person or via telehealth, allow me to monitor progress, address concerns, and adjust treatments as necessary. This approach ensures ongoing care and management of anxiety.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a broad range of experience in psychiatry throughout the lifespan. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, concerning alcohol use, and trauma/PTSD unleash themselves from the harmful habits and narratives that have controlled their mental health, discover self-acceptance, and recognize their true value and potential. I provide a safe space for deep healing and life-changing care that includes medication, lifestyle interventions, sleep optimization, mindfulness, and more. Together, we will work to develop a treatment plan that will support your overall wellbeing. Our work will be to integrate medication if indicated, as well as personalized holistic and integrative strategies and coaching. I am located in Rochester, NY, and I am able to meet with clients both virtually and in person. ***I offer a free 15-minute telehealth consultation to help patients determine whether my services are a good fit for them.***

When working with clients who have anxiety, my approach focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel heard and understood. We start by exploring how anxiety shows up in their life, identifying specific triggers, thoughts, and physical symptoms. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and challenge the thoughts that contribute to their anxiety, gradually replacing them with more constructive patterns. Additionally, we might integrate mindfulness practices to help manage anxiety in the moment, as well as techniques like deep breathing or grounding exercises to reduce physical symptoms. For clients who need it, we can discuss medication options as a supplementary tool for relief. Each person’s experience with anxiety is unique, so I’m collaborative in my approach, adapting strategies based on what feels most effective and empowering for them. Over time, my goal is for clients to feel more in control, less reactive to anxiety, and ultimately more resilient in facing life’s challenges.

Many of my clients have struggled with anxiety and panic. Its important to identify what your symptoms are, why, and when you are having them. We work on identifying when they have happened in the past as well to explore triggers. Understanding the connection of your thoughts to your physical reaction is important. We can work to reframe your thoughts, as well as ways to relax your body when triggered. Making the most of your awareness of your present sense of self through grounding techniques is also helpful.

In the past several years, and for several understandable reasons, we've seen reported rates of anxiety and panic at an all-time high. Anxiety is something that everyone experiences to some degree or another, but sometimes, it becomes intense and overwhelming.

I work with adults of all ages and walks of life who want to live a happier and more satisfying and productive life. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, trying to understand their career and relationship goals, learning how best to respond to daily stress, anxiety, and challenges, and striving to improve their relationships, mental health, emotions, and self-esteem.

I received both my undergraduate degree and Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and spent several years working in the Department of Psychiatry at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell, where I treated individuals struggling with a range of mental health issues.

I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and discuss how I can come alongside you as a support and a guide.

I provide a safe and non judgmental environment. Most people say that I make them feel comfortable pretty quickly.
