I’ve taken the ADHD Care Pledge to support safe and thoughtful stimulant use

Hello, I’m Anna, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 19 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New York, specializing in ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, burnout, and depression. My strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care was established through my master’s degree and psychiatric training at the State University of New York.

As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.

I enjoy building relationships with clients. One of my strengths as a provider is offering clients genuine respect and attention. I listen closely and help clients build skills and insights.
