I specialize in helping individuals manage ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and bipolar disorder. My holistic treatment approach combines medication management with evidence-based psychotherapy techniques, including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I provide psychiatric assessments, ongoing treatment, and personalized care to support your mental health and well-being every step of the way.
I completed my training at Tufts University.
I understand that reaching out for help can be a big step. I’m here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and work through life’s challenges. Together, we’ll create a path forward that aligns with your goals. I invite you to take the first step—reach out, and let’s start this journey together.
