Telehealth — serving all of Connecticut. Your brain is a physical organ — and like any organ, it can heal, and change. Your struggles aren't character flaws — they're brain biology, and our brains can heal and grow. I've spent 27 years in healthcare across Connecticut — in ICUs, ERs, homes, schools, and communities. I made over 12,000 home visits as a visiting nurse. I know Connecticut, its families, and its healthcare landscape deeply. Awareness is the first step in healing.
I combine rigorous neuroscience-based psychiatric care with targeted interventions — exercise protocols, sleep optimization, nutritional strategies — that work with your brain's natural capacity to transform. Psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy for children, adults, older adults.
I am not here to label you. I am here to help you optimize brain health so you can become the person you were meant to be. Awareness is the first step in healing.

I focus on symptoms, not labels. While diagnosis can be part of treatment, my goal is to look beneath the label and understand how your brain and life are working right now. Together, we'll identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and explore practical steps that move you forward. My approach is empowering and brain-based, grounded in neuroscience to improve both brain and mental health
