I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management and therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I treat a wide variety of mental illness, and I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism and those who are gender-diverse or other LGBTQ+ individuals.
I am a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers compassionate, trauma-informed medication management within a warm, collaborative space. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma-related symptoms, and periods of transition, and I deeply value creating a sense of safety and understanding in the therapeutic relationship.
I approach mental health with curiosity and care, believing that symptoms often carry important information about what the nervous system has been holding or managing for a long time. Clients often share that they feel heard, respected, and less alone in our work together. My intention is to support people in reconnecting with themselves and moving through life with greater steadiness and self-trust.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care for adults navigating mental health needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Massachusetts
Searching for psychiatrists in Massachusetts starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through different approaches. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, either talk therapy, medication management, or both may be part of your search. Across urban and rural parts of Massachusetts, available psychiatrists and areas of focus can vary, so look for a bio that clearly lists experience with your concerns.
Practical fit matters, too. Whether you are looking near Boston, Worcester, Springfield, or another part of Massachusetts, consider appointment format, scheduling, and whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Virtual appointments can add flexibility, while in-person visits may be easier to fit near home, work, or school. Reading psychiatrist profiles can help you compare communication style, specialties, appointment structure, and consultation options before you book.
Psychiatric care in Massachusetts 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 begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm whether a provider accepts your plan. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can review bios, compare availability, 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.
