Great to meet you!

I am accepting new patients and typically offer appointments within 2 weeks. Please reach out at 781-730-7843 or [email protected] for scheduling of in person or virtual appointments. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I evaluate and treat a wide range of disorders including depression, anxiety and attention deficit disorder. Treatment can include prescribing medication, providing supportive therapy and lifestyle recommendations. I often see people who have never taken medication or are nervous to try medication.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take an individualized approach to caring for each patient. My job is to provide an evaluation, recommendations and information about your options for treatment. My approach is kind, patient and collaborative.

What you can expect from our first session

Every patient's goals are unique. Many people will say, "I want to feel better." During our visits we will figure out what is actually means to "feel better" for you and how we can achieve that goal.
