If you are a teen (16+), adult, or senior struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or complex mood and thought patterns, I can help with your medication management. As medications are never one-size-fits-all, I will work with you to build a care plan that supports your daily functioning, life, and relationships. If you want a professional who takes the time to listen, I can safely introduce, adjust, or taper medications to help improve the symptoms that disrupt your life.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP
West Hartford, CT 06107
I provide medication management for teens (13+), adults, and seniors, treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, uncomplicated bipolar, PTSD, sleep, stress, and perinatal mood concerns — with a whole-person lens.
Many of the patients I work with are managing work, school, family, and daily life successfully on the outside — while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, mentally exhausted, or stuck. Some are first responders, healthcare workers, veterans, or military family members carrying weight that rarely gets acknowledged. Others are simply going through a hard season. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, or sleep — and want to feel more like themselves again. I help by listening carefully, explaining the reasoning behind each recommendation, and building a treatment plan that feels manageable.

Are you feeling tired, can't keep up with your daily routine, emotional for no reason, dealing with overwhelming stress? You may be struggling with untreated medical symptoms. These symptoms can be treated with the guidance of a physician. "Let's talk and see what happens." I hope to keep things as open as possible, because not every patient will present with a textbook case of issues. I strive to find a way to connect with each patient in a way that respects their autonomy and dignity.

FAQ - About Geriatric Psychiatry
What do geriatric psychiatrists do?
Geriatric psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions rooted in the neurological and cognitive changes of aging, such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and mood disorders that may be complicated by cognitive decline. In addition, they help older adults and their families navigate decisions around medications, cognitive functioning, and care planning. Geriatric psychiatrists often collaborate with neurologists, primary care physicians, and other medical specialists to ensure that psychiatric treatment aligns with other components of a client’s care.

How do geriatric psychiatrists assess mental and physical health?
Given their medical training, geriatric psychiatrists are trained to conduct cognitive and neuropsychiatric evaluations that go beyond standard mental health assessments conducted by non-medical professionals, such as therapists. They evaluate memory, attention, executive function, and behavioral changes to distinguish between normal age-related cognitive decline and diagnosable conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Because many neurological conditions can initially present with psychiatric symptoms, they also assess how various non-psychiatric medical factors, medications, and brain changes may contribute to a client’s condition. The results of these evaluations can inform treatment planning, including medication management, patient safety considerations, and potential referral to other specialists, such as a neurologist.

How can I find a geriatric psychiatrist?
Psychology Today's online directory helps users find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with the geriatric population. The platform offers filters to narrow your search by specialty, such as dementia or Alzheimer's. Each provider profile includes detailed information on therapeutic approach, licensure, insurance plans accepted, languages spoken, and session fees, allowing you to assess whether a provider is a good fit.
