With 165+ reviews and a 4.96 rating on Zocdoc, I have specialized in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality profiles, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.
I am a provider dedicated to empowering clients I work with through supportive health education and shared decision making. I enjoy discussing medication and therapy options. This is your health, and I want to support you in making your own informed decisions.
There is no weight/body shaming in my practice.
I gladly accept clients with neurodivergence.
I welcome all marginalized and disenfranchised individuals to my practice. I work closely with LGBTQIA+ communities especially gender diverse/trans communities. I have 23 years of experience in research and education around complex trauma/CPTSD.
As a white provider I participate in lifelong learning and activism to aid in dismantling racism in healthcare settings.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Cambridge, MA
Finding psychiatrists in Cambridge starts with understanding what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, psychiatric care may be one option to consider. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical background, and approach to medication management so you can choose someone whose training matches what you want to address.
Cambridge has a strong mental health care community, but local appointment times may be limited based on schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options beyond offices near Harvard Square, Central Square, Kendall Square, or Porter Square, while in-person visits may fit better if you prefer care close to work, school, or home. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read bios for details on availability, session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Cambridge 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 costs before booking. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and many take insurance, making it easier to compare options, review profiles, 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.
