I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than two decades of experience in pediatric bedside nursing, along with many years of coaching high school athletes. These experiences have given me a unique understanding of children, adolescents, and families, as well as the many factors that can influence mental health during important developmental stages.
My background has taught me that mental health is about more than a diagnosis or medication. Sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, school, family dynamics, stress, and daily routines can all affect how someone feels and functions. I have a particular interest in working with adolescents and young adults and helping patients and families better understand their symptoms, treatment options, and overall mental wellness.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Greenfield
Finding psychiatrists in Greenfield starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication needs. Therapists provide talk therapy and do not prescribe medication. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see how their background matches what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Greenfield, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts markets. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still giving you access to psychiatric care covered by your plan. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style and care approach.
Psychiatric care in Greenfield 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 you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can browse psychiatrists in Greenfield, review bios, and book directly when you are 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.
