I am a dually board certified nurse practitioner in family medicine and psychiatry. I have over a decade of experience working across the lifespan helping people find their way to the healthy life that they desire. I really enjoy getting to know my patients as individuals and celebrating the accomplishments each person makes in their path to a rewarding life. When I'm not working or learning more, you can find me hiking with my dogs, exploring New England, sailing, skiing, mountain biking, running, baking, and quilting.
My approach to therapy utilizes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Culturally Sensitive, Dialectical (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Multicultural, Psychodynamic, and Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS). From the outset, I want to get to know who I am working with, their goals, and the context that leads to them seeking help.
I work with adolescents and adults in all walks of life, in different family and relationship constellations. I have experience working with different socioeconomic realities, LGBTQIA, and non-traditional relationship structures, from a variety of ethnic and spiritual backgrounds.
