As adults, we are responsible for changing things not because we are to blame for these things, but because we are the only ones who CAN change them. That can feel unfair, and it is. But it can also be empowering- YOU are the catalyst for personal change. You can always take a turn or step in a different direction. I am here to help you with this noble work.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, relationship issues, self-esteem, health/wellness, career counseling, burnout & trauma.

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.

Therapist

As a therapist, I see it as a tremendous responsibility to serve others in their best interest while honoring their autonomy and path. I believe coming to therapy is courageous, and you should feel accepted without judgment. I work with clients from teenagers to seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, emotional regulation, stress, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping those who feel stuck or overwhelmed understand their story and patterns, while taking meaningful steps toward a more intentional life. I sit beside you, help you understand, and pair insight with practical tools and meaningful action.
