Psychiatrists in Boston, NY

Utilizing basic psychotherapy, I meet clients at their level of need, helping to set and achieve practical goals for treatment. In most cases, I work with your current therapist to provide medication management.

We all walk a different path, but human emotion is universal. Sometimes our emotions become overwhelming and we feel buried by them, paralyzed. I know this because I've been down those roads and I've come out the other side. My formal training makes me qualified to provide treatment, but my life experiences make me capable of providing care. As a member of the LGBTQ community, nonjudgement is my top priority. I offer a genuinely safe space for ALL.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with several years of experience in nursing and healthcare. My expertise lies in the treatment of psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. My practice is especially focused on addressing the mental health needs of those with ADHD, family trauma, relationship issues, and underserved communities, providing compassionate and understanding care for the diverse challenges they face. I believe in personalized, holistic patient care, crafting treatment plans that are uniquely tailored to each individual's specific needs and circumstances.

Whatever challenges you face, it is my experience that you can work through them when you are motivated to explore what you don't know about yourself and have a good fit with a skilled psychotherapist who understands you. Respectively, I practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy, an approach that most therapists choose for themselves because it is so transformative. It is particularly helpful for long-term and difficult-to-change issues, providing long-lasting growth and psychic relief. While I won't give you "tools" or homework, I will help you foster new ways to listen to your soul so you can create a satisfactory life worth living.

I am a board certified psychiatrist with 30 years of clinical experience in treating different mental diseases including: depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, etc. in different settings and cultures. I attended Southeastern University Medical School in Nanjing, China and did my residency at Strong Memorial Hospital of University of Rochester and my fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital of Harvard Medical School. With my extensive training and experience, I can help you successfully deal with any mental health challenges you are facing.

If you are reading this, it is a safe bet you understand the challenges of living with an untreated or inadequately treated mental health condition. Day-to-day tasks that others navigate with ease become difficult. The once vivid dreams you had of the future become shaded with doubts. Perhaps you tried therapy and it was not enough. Maybe you tried medications and they had more side effects than they were worth. The only thing more frustrating than the symptoms of your illness is the growing sense that you will never get better.

I am an experienced and passionate mental health care provider with hope to empower individuals in their own mental health care choices within a supportive network of resources. I will diligently work towards providing exceptional integrative mental health care within a trusted patient-provider relationship.

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, experienced at treating those age 16 and older with symptoms of depression, anxiety, Bipolar, PTSD, ADHD, Binge Eating, Autism Spectrum and thought disorders and/or those facing a difficult life transition.
