If you've been feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like you're carrying the weight of your struggles completely alone — you're not. And you don't have to be.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving Massachusetts via telehealth, I specialize in anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. But more than treating symptoms, I'm focused on understanding you — the whole person behind them. My approach is holistic and collaborative, which means we work together to figure out what wellness actually looks like for your life, not just on paper.

Therapist

Virtual • Greenfield, MA


We all need connection, community, and the ability to be our authentic selves in order to thrive. Many of us are not provided these attachment needs in childhood, and we grow into adulthood burdened by this wounding, unsure of how to relate safely and from a place of wholeness. If you struggle to align your inner and outer worlds, find yourself repeating difficult relational patterns, or feel as if your authentic self must remain hidden, I would love to work with you. I am particularly interested in supporting the health of queer families and cooperatives.
