Therapist

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Waltham, MA


Choosing a psychiatric provider is a personal decision, and I approach that with care. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in adult mental health, I focus on understanding you as a whole person and creating a treatment plan that fits your life.

I have worked with diverse populations and often see how anxiety, trauma, stress, and executive dysfunction can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well being. I treat adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and substance use concerns, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including complex cases. I especially enjoy working with college students, professionals, and business leaders who are balancing demanding schedules and high expectations. I also collaborate with caregivers and other professionals to ensure well rounded care.

Many of my clients come to me feeling like something is holding them back. Stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, struggling to communicate in ways that feel authentic, or searching for healthier ways to cope with life's challenges. They often describe a sense that their personal growth has stalled, even when they can't quite put their finger on why.
