Life can look “fine” on the outside while still feeling overwhelming internally. Hi! I'm Mary and I am a Doctorally prepared nurse practitioner, mom and first responder wife. I have over nine years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most vulnerable moments and as a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, I take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood symptoms, and cognitive changes, often during periods of high stress or hormonal transition. My approach looks at the full picture including mental health, sleep, metabolism, and overall well-being to develop personalized treatment plans. I combine medication management with practical strategies to help you feel more balanced, focused, and in control.
With over 15 years of nursing experience, my passion for psychiatry began early in my nursing career as I witnessed patients transform their lives through healing, self-discovery, and resilience. It is profoundly humbling meeting someone at their lowest point and having the privilege of walking alongside them as they do the work to become their best selves.
I work with adults ages 18 to 60 from all walks of life, with a special focus on individuals who are often overlooked, misunderstood, or silently struggling. Many of the people I work with appear “put together” on the outside—successful, dependable, and strong—while internally feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or barely holding it together.
I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, to immigrant parents from Haiti, and my cultural background plays an important role in who I am as a provider. Being deeply connected to both Haitian and American cultures has given me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for cultural identity, family systems, and the shared human experience. At the core, struggle looks very similar across cultures—and everyone deserves care that is respectful, culturally responsive, and compassionate.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Massachusetts. I offer comprehensive treatment combining medication with lifestyle and behavioral interventions. I help adult clients manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders and substance use disorder. I also specialize in helping women navigate the peri and postpartum periods. I use evidence-based treatments that consider the client’s biological, psychological, spiritual, and social needs.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boston
Finding the right psychiatrist in Boston starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.
Boston has a large concentration of mental health providers, but finding one who accepts your insurance and is taking new patients can still be a challenge. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or practices near your neighborhood in areas like Back Bay, Cambridge, or Jamaica Plain. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry sessions in Boston can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
