I am board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a specialization in child and adolescent psychopharmacology. I treat young adults as well. I have been in practice since 2005. I love the work that I do and am grateful to have spent the last 20 years supporting my patients every step of the way in their treatment journey.

My training began as an undergraduate at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where I majored in Neuroscience and conducted research focused on ADHD in children. After graduation, I worked as a clinical research assistant in the Pediatric and Adult Psychopharmacology Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. During this time, I worked closely with psychiatric nurse practitioners and quickly recognized that mental health nursing was the right path for me. It offered the ideal blend of my interest in neuropsychiatry and the integrative, patient‑centered approach that defines nursing

I received both my Registered Nursing and Master’s degrees in Psychiatric Nursing from Yale University in 2005. Over the years, I have worked in several outpatient mental health settings, most notably at Boston Children’s Hospital, where I spent 13 years treating children with complex medical and psychosocial needs. In 2018, I transitioned from BCH to focus fully on my private practice.

My approach to treatment is grounded in compassion, evidence‑based medicine, and a philosophy that extends well beyond medication alone. I am a thoughtful and attentive listener, and I strive to bring warmth, clarity, and genuine understanding to every patient and family I work with. Over the years, I have treated children, adolescents, and young adults across the full spectrum of psychiatric diagnoses, with particular interests in complex ADHD, OCD, Tic Disorders, and the care of medically intricate patients.

Mental health treatment can feel daunting, and having the right provider by your side is essential. The most rewarding part of my work is building a trusting connection with patients and their families. Watching them grow, progress, and collaborate in their care over the years is invaluable to me. While no clinician can promise specific outcomes, I can promise consistent, thoughtful effort and a steadfast commitment to helping patients reach their goals and cultivate sustainable wellbeing.
