Great to meet you!

Hello and thank you for taking time to learn about my practice. I currently am accepting new patients for medication evaluation, both prescribing as well as deprescribing, with a holistic approach that can include evidence based complimentary treatments (supplements) and lifestyle approaches. My psychiatric training was at John's Hopkins University, with pediatric psychiatry training at Boston Children's Hospital. I specialize in anxiety spectrum, OCD, ADHD, & the effect of learning differences & endocrine conditions on mental health (I was previously the Lead Adult Nurse Practitioner for the Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston MA.) I understand deeply the impact that life stressors & other health concerns can exert on mental wellbeing and take a holistic approach in providing mental health care. If you do not see a time that works for you on the headway calendar you can also email me at [email protected] and we can connect to see if I can offer you an alternate time. I see patients up until 8 pm during the weekday and offer some weekend times as well.

My approach to therapy

It begins with listening, and truly seeing each individual I work with. My approach is one of openness, acceptance, and kindness, to cultivate a caring partnership. Gaining an understanding your life story, perspective, concerns, and hopes for treatment is vital for our work together.

What you can expect from me

A feeling of support, collaboration, and being heard without judgement. I will provide a written treatment plan with options and resources that I will send to you after our visits. The first visit to be 60 minutes and follow-up visits to be 30 minutes. After you book an appointment on Headway, I will email you a link to the secure Electronic Health Record system I use (Tebra) to sign NamaPsych PLLC Consent and Practice Policy agreements.
