PMHNP-BC | Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP
The decision to seek mental health and psychiatric care for you or your child is a brave step forward. It takes courage to ask for help and a commitment to make long-lasting positive change. I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctorate from Boston College (DNP) and a masters in counseling from Boston University (LMHC). I specialize in the assessment and treatment of children with autism, ADHD, and anxiety as well as, adults & teens with anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, major life changes, work/school stress, building confidence, & family conflict.
​
I blend my background in mental health counseling and psychiatry to provide an experience that is welcoming, therapeutic, and backed by evidence-based research. I work to create a safe space for clients and families to explore medication, therapy, and to feel empowered in taking charge of their lives. I hope to help my clients’ realize their full potential.
