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.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in pharmacy, giving me a well-rounded perspective on mental health care. I work primarily with children, adolescents, and young adults, while also supporting older adults. My practice is rooted in compassion, advocacy, and respect for each person’s unique journey.
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.
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I earned both my Doctor of Nursing Practice and Master of Science in Nursing degrees from Columbia University. My clinical training includes experience in child, adolescent, and adult inpatient psychiatry, as well as school-based and private practice settings. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a registered nurse in a detox and rehab facility serving individuals with substance use disorders, many from underserved backgrounds, including low-income, formerly incarcerated, and unhoused populations. I currently practice in a federally qualified health center.
Choosing a psychiatric provider is a personal decision, and I approach that with care. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in adult mental health, I focus on understanding you as a whole person and creating a treatment plan that fits your life.
I have worked with diverse populations and often see how anxiety, trauma, stress, and executive dysfunction can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well being. I treat adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and substance use concerns, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including complex cases. I especially enjoy working with college students, professionals, and business leaders who are balancing demanding schedules and high expectations. I also collaborate with caregivers and other professionals to ensure well rounded care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Brookline
Finding psychiatrists in Brookline starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may include an initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and updates based on your needs over time. People often look for psychiatric care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and experience match the concerns you want to address.
Brookline has local options near areas like Coolidge Corner, Washington Square, and Brookline Village, but availability can vary by schedule and appointment type. Virtual appointments can expand your options if nearby offices have limited openings or if commuting across town makes care harder to fit into your calendar. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a psychiatrist, depending on the kind of support they want. Reading bios can help you compare approach, specialties, appointment format, and whether a psychiatrist offers a free phone consultation before booking.
Psychiatric care in Brookline can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see estimated session costs upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
