Seeing Patients in MA and NH. About me, For YOU! I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and a Board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. My current specialty is treating patients with anxiety, depression and PTSD. Opioid use disorder with suboxone. As a provider I like to collaborate with my patients as to their desires and the direction they want to take on their journey to wellness. I like to take a conservative approach. In addition to any medications that may be prescribed, therapy is encouraged to all patients. I believe in mindfulness, exercise, and behavioral therapies.
I have worked in several clinical and therapeutic settings including working in private practice for several years, and having had the unique opportunity to work with underprivileged folks in a correctional setting both in an individual therapy and group therapy capacity. These unique experiences have given me the opportunity to work across a variety of settings and acquire a multidisciplinary approach for individuals with unique and specific needs.
I am a compassionate provider who has worked as a psychiatric/mental health nurse for 15 years prior to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I strive to develop trust through therapeutic communication with my patients. My goal is to work together to plan and implement the best possible treatment plan based on individual needs.
I am a compassionate and experienced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 19 years of experience in mental health care. I provide personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults, with a focus on understanding each person’s unique needs and goals.
My approach is open, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I believe that effective treatment begins with trust, honesty, and respect. I take the time to listen, understand each patient’s concerns, and create a treatment plan that feels both appropriate and manageable.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression and mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, substance use and addiction recovery, medication management, and psychopharmacology. My goal is to help each patient feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Lexington
Finding addiction therapists in Lexington starts with understanding the type of support you want. Addiction care can address alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.
Lexington has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Boston or Cambridge, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping access close to home. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and the style of care described in their profile. A therapist’s bio can help you see whether they take a nonjudgmental approach, have experience with harm reduction frameworks, and describe how they support people through changes that may not follow a straight path.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before booking. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
