NOT ACCEPTING NEW EAP CLIENTS.
With 12 years of mental health experience, I support adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, disordered eating, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and relationship or family-of-origin concerns. I have a special interest in working with Asian American adults and adoptees exploring identity and cultural or family expectations.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who has over 8 years of professional experience working with individuals and families seeking treatment for a variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and PTSD. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients to improve coping skills, increase self-awareness, and empower them to reach their goals and achieve wellness. I understand that beginning therapy can be overwhelming, therefore, I prioritize fostering a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. My approach to therapy is solutions-oriented, participatory, and warm.
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.
I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.
I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.
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'm a nurse practitioner with six years of experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient psychiatric settings. I specialize in addiction and substance use, depression, and general psychiatry — working exclusively with adults. After years of high-paced clinical work, I built a telehealth practice designed around real life: I see patients evenings and Saturday mornings, so quality psychiatric care doesn't have to compete with your workday. I take a practical, no-nonsense approach — focused on what actually helps you move forward.
You may look like you have it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships, self-confidence, or a transition that has made life feel harder than usual. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts, I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you focus on what matters most to you.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a supportive and judgement free environment. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, using collaborative care approach to personalized treatment plans that aligns with each client's goals. I believe that every person deserve to feel heard and empowered. My goal is to help you build resilience, improve your well-being, and achieve lasting, meaningful change.

Frequently asked questions


Find an expert who truly understands OCD
Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Boston
Finding OCD therapists in Boston starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and many people also look for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, and related stress. Not all therapists who list OCD have specific ERP training, so review each bio for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Boston has many mental health care options across neighborhoods like Back Bay, Cambridge, Fenway, and the South End, which can make it harder to narrow your search. If you want in-person OCD therapy near you, consider commute time, transit access, and office location. If you prefer virtual sessions, you may have more scheduling options across Massachusetts. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how clearly they describe their approach to OCD therapy.
Therapy in Boston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare OCD therapists in Boston who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
