Great to meet you!

I am a Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist. I completed Adult and Child Psychiatric training at Massachusetts General/Mclean Hospital. I have primarily worked in community mental health care settings. I specialize in trauma informed care, telepsychiatry, mental illness in the BIPOC community, Adolescent Mental Health, School Struggles/Anxiety, Mood Disorders and Anxiety Disorders.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take a very person-centered approach. Our work together is based on your needs and wants. I work in a collaborative manner and your voice is essential in the treatment. Any medication changes need to be discussed and reviewed so that all parties feel comfortable moving forward. I currently only see patients virtually.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to create a safe and encouraging space where individuals can feel comfortable opening up and partnering together to achieve remission.

Warm
