Hello! I'm a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping people. After earning my Master's in Nursing from Simmons University in Boston and my Bachelor's from Boston College, I went on to specialize in psychiatric care.
I currently work at a Behavioral Health Hospital in CT, where I focus on treating geriatric patients with various mental health conditions. My approach includes supportive, personalized and compassionate care.
Previously, I worked at a Private Practice in New Britain, where I prescribed medication, diagnosed and managed treatments for mental health disorders across the life span. I always strive to support my patients and their families through clear communication and comprehensive care plans.
Earlier in my career, I was a Registered Nurse at Hartford Hospital's Institute of Living. There, I cared for patients with conditions like depression, dementia, and schizophrenia. I also enjoyed mentoring new nurses and working with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
I'm certified by the American Nurse Credentialing Center as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I'm also trained in Basic Cardiac Life Support.
I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey!

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I have a passion for helping people achieve their best possible mental health. My experiences in various healthcare settings, from hospitals to private practice, have reinforced my commitment to providing compassionate and personalized care. What motivates me to continue is the meaningful progress I see in my patients as they navigate their mental health journeys. Knowing that I can make a positive difference in someone’s life keeps me dedicated to this work every day.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
I would tell them that therapy is a safe and supportive space where they can explore their feelings and challenges without judgment. It’s natural to feel hesitant, but therapy is about empowering you to understand and manage your mental health in a way that promotes overall well-being. Taking that first step can lead to meaningful progress and positive change, and I’m here to guide you through the process with compassion and respect.
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
People should know that I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, personalized care. With a background in both psychiatric and family health, I bring a comprehensive understanding of mental health conditions across the lifespan. My approach is patient-centered, meaning I work collaboratively with each individual to address their unique needs and circumstances. I am also dedicated to clear communication and support, ensuring that both patients and their families feel understood and cared for throughout the treatment process.
How can you provide care remotely?
I can provide care remotely by utilizing telehealth services, which allow me to connect with patients through secure video conferencing. This approach ensures that I can assess, diagnose, and manage mental health conditions from a distance, providing the same level of comprehensive care as in-person visits. My experience in clear communication and creating personalized care plans translates effectively into the virtual space, making remote care both accessible and supportive.
