I offer medication consultation and management as well as brief psychotherapy for adults living in Massachusetts. I see patients on evenings and weekends and strive to be flexible to meet the needs of those I treat. My clinical background spans outpatient, inpatient, academic and emergency psychiatry, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the many ways people experience mental health challenges and a variety of methods to support the people I work with.
I specialize in mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and psychotic disorders. I also have significant experience and interest in providing affirming care to queer individuals. If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who values connection, collaboration, and a holistic understanding of your mental health, I would be happy to work with you.
My therapeutic style centers on compassion, respect and curiosity to create a trusting and collaborative space. I believe that meaningful progress happens when you feel truly understood, supported, and empowered to move toward your personal mental health goals.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance companies myself and only accept payment directly. I recommend asking your insurance plan what their "allowable amount" is for a visit with an out of network psychiatrist to learn what you may have to pay out of pocket.
