Many people come to psychiatry after feeling frustrated by treatments that haven't worked or appointments that felt rushed. I became a psychiatric provider because I enjoy helping people understand their symptoms and find treatment approaches that genuinely fit their needs. Before becoming a PMHNP, I received a B.S. in Clinical Psychology from Tufts University and worked in psychiatric research focused on bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression. Today, I provide collaborative, individualized care to patients experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and more.
