I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for individuals navigating life’s challenges. My clinical background spans addiction recovery, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, ADHD, and women’s mental health.
I earned my Bachelor of Nursing from University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) before moving to Boston to start my career in bedside nursing in 2019. After serving as an RN and Director of Nursing at a residential treatment center, I earned my PMHNP at Regis College to specialize in mental health. Since then, I’ve gained diverse experience providing cutting-edge ketamine therapy in outpatient clinics and managing complex cases in inpatient psychiatry. Now, I’m bringing that clinical expertise—along with post-graduate training in CBT—to my full-time private practice, where I provide comprehensive, compassionate care for patients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD and ADHD in the South Boston area.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. I believe that mental health care should be collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.

Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Arlington
Searching for addiction therapists in Arlington starts with finding care that fits the specific concern you want support with. Addiction care can include substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and the mental health concerns that may come with them, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction frameworks, or coordinate with a prescriber when medication support is part of a person’s care plan.
In a smaller city like Arlington, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your search. Recovery can also change over time, which makes fit especially important. Consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work with your schedule, and has experience with nonjudgmental addiction support. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about recovery, harm reduction, relapse prevention, and what to expect in sessions before you book.
Addiction therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
