I’m excited to share that my private practice, Lumina Psychiatry, is accepting new patients for Summer 2026! Lumina Psychiatry is a private psychiatric practice based in Arlington, MA, providing personalized, evidence-based care for adults with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, trauma/PTSD, depression, and women’s mental health concerns. I offer both in-person appointments in Arlington and virtual visits throughout Massachusetts for comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Feel free to reach out to schedule an intake appointment or learn more about the practice.
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), bringing over 18 years of experience in psychiatric care. Since 2008, I’ve supported clients across various roles from counselor to RN to nurse practitioner, allowing me to offer a well-rounded perspective.
I founded my practice to provide high-quality, compassionate psychiatric care without the rushed, impersonal feel of larger systems. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey. Check out our website for more information or to book online!
