Great to meet you!

Sometimes you know something feels off, but you don't have a name for it yet. That's okay. You don't need a diagnosis to reach out. I work with young adults and adults living with anxiety, depression, or the lasting weight of trauma, and I want you to feel seen and heard from our very first visit. Representation matters to me. I want people who look like me to know there is a provider who understands. I'm a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner in Massachusetts, and my long term goal is to build a wellness center for my community.

My approach to therapy

I look at the whole person, not just a list of symptoms. Medication can be one helpful tool, and I pair it with real conversation about what is going on in your life. We make decisions together, at a pace that feels right for you, and you will always know why I suggest something.

What you can expect from me

Our first visit is a relaxed conversation. I'll ask what brought you in, a bit about your history, and what you hope will change. Then we'll talk through options together, which may include medication, therapy, or both. You'll leave with a clear plan and room to ask anything.
