I specialize in ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, Insomnia & Sleep Issues, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) / Trauma and Stress Management. I work with an amazing group of colleagues at Lavender, an online psychiatry and therapy office, where we believe psychiatric care shouldn't be expensive nor impossible to access.

I combine my decades of experience in academic psychiatry and my extensive knowledge of psychotherapeutic methods and psychopharmacology with empathy, focused listening and a caring responsiveness to provide personalized care to the patients in my practice, Pegasus Psychiatry Associates (www.PegasusPsych.com).

I am widely published, have national recognition for my research and have served on state-wide mental health committees.

As an ideal psychiatric mental health client, I present with moderate depression and generalized anxiety disorder. My primary needs include medication management for symptom relief and psychoeducation on coping strategies. My goals are to attain emotional stability, enhance daily functioning, and reduce distress. I seek an understanding of my conditions, effective pharmacological interventions, and therapeutic support to develop resilience. Motivated by a desire for improved quality of life, I aim to cultivate a balanced mental state, fostering a sense of control and well-being in navigating life's challenges.

I am a board-certified psychiatric NP, trained at New York University. I specialize in adults, children, adolescents, and geriatrics. My virtual and in-person practices are friendly and confidential spaces where I provide a thorough psychiatric evaluation and personalized medication management. My approach is to always see things from the client’s perspective. My mission is to support my clients while they create more meaningful progress in life. I use my expertise to help them find harmony between mind and body. I think mental health care can be a spiritual, and yet a scientific way for the client to look into their soul.

Many of my clients have battled symptoms for years. Some have been in psychotherapy and some have tried psychiatric medications. Few have been able to work with one care provider in both modalities simultaneously. I offer this possibility- the option that many research studies have shown to be the most effective! As a physician I will take your overall health and nutritional status into account in formulating an approach to your care. I will make sure you are totally comfortable with our plan.

Ideally my patient is as invested in their care as I am. They could have a variety of diagnoses but the thing they have in common is they are willing to give the process time, are open to new ideas, and know there is no magic pill to fix all their problems. My patients want to get to the best version of themselves and are willing to try therapy as well as medications to help them reach that goal. My patient wants an empathetic, listening provider who can guide their care based on the evidence, but tailored to their individual needs.

As a board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist with over 45 years of experience, I have extensive experience treating patients with a wide range of psychiatric and psychological disorders. I have been listed as one of the best psychiatrists in the USA and Canada specializing in the treatment of people with Mood Disorders on a leading depression website. I have also been listed as a Top Doctor as well as a most compassionate doctor. In addition I received the Patient's Choice Award as one of New Jersey's favorite physicins. I am a former Clinical Assistant Profesor of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Medical Center.

A key component of growth and development is to gain control and mastery in areas we find challenging. And sometimes, disruption in one’s mental health can get in the way of acquiring such mastery. Seeking help to improve your mental wellbeing is what can make the difference.

I am a doctoral prepared psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner with extensive background in both inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities. My approach to treatment is emphasized on the importance of understanding biological, psychological and social factors and their complex interactions in understanding health, illness and health care. My objective is to improve and extend psychiatric and mental health care to diverse populations. I am confident I have the skills, education, and experience necessary to provide you a customized treatment and outstanding care.

Self-discovery and implementation of new habits and skills can be uncomfortable. My ideal client is someone who is ready to be uncomfortable and one who is dedicated to making an investment in their mental health. Having someone who is consistent with their care and transparent about their feelings and symptoms will lead to an efficient resolution of concerns and achieving goals.

I don't have an ideal client, except that they are open to change. I will see anyone who asks for help, but I expect they are or will be willing to change. I attempt to understand the patient as a whole, from birth to the present, from a medical, psychological, familial, and neurological perspective. I am focused on practical solutions and removing emotional blocks to making progress. I speak directly and am primarily concerned about the relationship with my patients. I am an avid advocate for my patients.

There is no such thing as an "ideal client." Each individual is unique, and care will be tailored to fit patient needs.

I have many years of experience engaging with children, adolescents and their families. I have dealt with all mental health issues affecting that population. At Pegasus Psychiatry Associates, I use my experience to focus on treating patients and their families with the compassionate, active listening and evidence-based approach I have found to be the most effective. After an extensive evaluation combined with appropriate objective measures, a comprehensive treatment plan is implemented. Judicious use of medication with or without therapy is offered. I encourage patients and their families to participate in their treatment planning.

My goal is to help you become your best self. I believe in personalized, holistic care taking into account not only your symptoms but their impact on your daily life in context of your relationship and career goals. My approach to treatment involves forming a partnership with you to not only work towards healing your symptoms but to help you recognize and implement modes of thinking and behavior that lend themselves to a more harmonious and fulfilling lifestyle.

It can be difficult to get started in mental health treatment, especially for children who might not be seeking the help themselves. By creating a welcoming, responsive, and warm environment at Pegasus Psychiatry Associates, I strive to connect with all my patients and get to know each of them well. I collaborate closely with families, schools, primary care physicians, and therapists to obtain a complete view of each patient’s individual needs. Whether a child, adolescent, or young adult, we will develop together a comprehensive treatment plan that includes only the prudent use of medication.
