I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) holding full prescriptive authority to serve the needs of clients in Connecticut. I have over a decade of experience treating individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, insomnia and addiction in clinical settings including primary urgent care as well as psychiatric emergency room services and outpatient practice. While more than comfortable I feel utilizing medication as appropriate in treating psychiatric disorders, I am not averse to employing complementary medicine such as acupuncture and psychotherapy as an additional tool. My unique approach involves providing holistic mental health intervention including acupuncture, cupping, aromatherapy, and supplements including injectable Vitamin B12, D3, and Tri-Boost in addition to traditional psychiatric medication management. This approach has been shown to provide relief to patients that have not responded to mainstream mental health modalities.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. My philosophy is an integrative approach in treating the whole person -- including the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors. I emphasize education so you feel empowered and understand why medication may be necessary, what the medication is, and why you are taking it. While medications are an important part of treatment, they are often times not the long-term solution. We can carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks to find the best option for you. My primary goal is to make sure that I provide the best care to my patients. In some cases, the limitations of outpatient treatment do not allow the ability to provide the level of care that I think you deserve. I can provide feedback, temporary services, and assistance with referral options.
