Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Massachusetts


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 believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My approach to counseling is solution-focused, collaborative, and centered on helping clients recognize their strengths while developing practical strategies to overcome life's challenges.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults as they navigate the complexities of adolescence and early adulthood. Whether you're struggling with past experiences, current life stressors, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem, or uncertainty about the future, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions while building the skills needed to move forward.

Together, we'll identify meaningful goals and create realistic, actionable steps to help you achieve them. My focus is on empowering clients to build resilience, improve emotional well-being, develop healthy coping strategies, and gain confidence in their ability to face life's obstacles.

I am passionate about helping young people discover their strengths, find hope in difficult seasons, and create a healthier, happier future. My goal is to help each client leave therapy feeling more confident, capable, and equipped to live a life that aligns with their values and aspirations.
