Hi There! I am proud to be a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner! I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Lowell with my bachelor’s degree and Regis College with my master’s degree. I'm excited to provide you with the individualized care you deserve. Most of all, my goal is to honor your individuality and lifestyle when creating a plan of care. Your goals are what matters- it's your life! Let's help you get to where you want to be!
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself lately? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Ivy League trained with experience in outpatient, acute stabilization and consult-liaison psychiatry. I work with adults and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, and other mental health challenges that come with stress, illness, or life transitions.
I earned my Bachelor of Nursing from University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) before moving to Boston to start my career in bedside nursing in 2019. After serving as an RN and Director of Nursing at a residential treatment center, I earned my PMHNP at Regis College to specialize in mental health. Since then, I’ve gained diverse experience providing cutting-edge ketamine therapy in outpatient clinics and managing complex cases in inpatient psychiatry. Now, I’m bringing that clinical expertise—along with post-graduate training in CBT—to my full-time private practice, where I provide comprehensive, compassionate care for patients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD and ADHD in the South Boston area.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Arlington, MA
Finding psychiatrists in Arlington starts with understanding the type of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or other methods. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, read each psychiatrist’s profile for listed specialties, clinical background, and the kind of care they offer.
Arlington is a smaller market, so local appointment options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Cambridge, Somerville, or Boston. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and whether a free phone consultation is available before booking.
Psychiatric care in Arlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can review profiles, compare fit, 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.
