OCD Psychiatrists in Connecticut

I emphasize integrating therapy and medication management, and I create a warm, safe, and respectful space where patients feel understood and supported in their journey to recovery. My approach focuses on treating the whole person, recognizing that everyone's story is unique and informs the best path forward. I conduct thorough evaluations and use evidence-based prescribing while incorporating psychotherapeutic modalities such as CBT, executive skills training, insight-oriented approaches, and motivational interviewing. Understanding a patient's history, current symptoms, and treatment goals is central to developing an effective plan and building a strong therapeutic relationship. I treat a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and more, with experience across diverse populations.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience working with adults of all ages. I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from NYU, a medical degree from Rush Medical College, and completed my psychiatry training at Yale. I have practiced in inpatient, consultation-liaison, and emergency psychiatry settings, though my primary passion is outpatient care, where I build long-term therapeutic relationships. I have worked in private practice and clinic settings and serve on the faculty at Yale's Psychiatry Department, teaching and supervising trainees.

I use a practical and realistic approach with patients to assist them in identifying small, attainable goals and then motivating them to achieve those goals. I prefer to work with adults and relish the opportunity to work with patients who are highly motivated for change.

I completed medical school at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995. I then completed a residency in general psychiatry at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, followed by a fellowship in forensic psychiatry also at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia from 1995–2000. I spent ten years practicing forensic psychiatry at a state hospital in Atlanta. I then decided that I wanted to travel and spent eighteen months as a locum tenens psychiatrist primarily practicing in New England. During this time, I met my future husband and we decided together that we eventually wanted to live in the New England area. In 2013, I officially became a telepsychiatrist, which eventually provided me with the opportunity to move to Rhode Island and practice out of the home my husband and I bought there. I initially saw patients via telepsychiatry at a community mental health center in rural Georgia and later took a position as a remote consultant telepsychiatrist at Acadia Hospital in Bangor, Maine.

My approach is to educate clients on their mental health, available pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic options, and to collaborate with them in formulating an evidence-based treatment plan. I have a wide range of experience in treating various mental illnesses including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and OCD. I offer medication management in 30-minute follow-up visits informed by my psychotherapy experience. Occasionally, I may believe additional therapy would be beneficial, and therefore, I recommend adding a therapist to your care team for the best results.
