Welcome! I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner treating ages 21 and up. My philosophy is an integrative approach in treating the whole person - including the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors. I am a Connecticut native with European heritage and want to acknowledge the original habitants of the land I live on: the Hammonassets and Menunkatucks. I recognize myself as a privileged member of a white dominant world, and consistently try to challenge this norm. As a strong ally to marginalized communities, I do my best to promote inclusivity and improve access to psychiatric services.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 25+ years of experience, I understand how exhausting it feels when nothing seems to help. I focus on uncovering root causes—not just managing symptoms. I specialize in tanxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, C-PTSD, trauma recovery, coercive control dynamics, codependency, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief/loss, anger management, and postpartum mental health. Together we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, functional medicine testing, nutritional support, and medication when needed. My goal is to help you heal, not just cope.

I work with people navigating mood disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder, as well as those struggling with substance use, eating disorders, or personality disorders. Many of my patients begin therapy looking to understand their behaviors and build awareness around what drives them, especially when it comes to substance use and eating patterns. Through our work, we’ll explore those patterns with curiosity and care, and then move toward lasting change.
