About My Clients

I work best with motivated students, professionals, and caregivers navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. Many are exploring medication for the first time or haven’t felt fully supported in the past. They’re looking for a provider who listens, explains, and collaborates on a plan that fits their needs and pace. If you're managing stress, burnout, or perfectionism and want thoughtful, personalized care—I’d love to work with you.

My Background and Approach

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and co-owner of Lumina Psychiatry, with over 15 years of experience in psychiatric care. Since 2008, I’ve supported clients as a counselor, registered nurse, and nurse practitioner. I bring both medical expertise and a warm, collaborative approach to every session. At Lumina Psychiatry, we’re doing things differently. With small patient panels, you get real access to your prescriber and the time and attention you deserve. Our nurse practitioner-owned practice is accepting new patients across Massachusetts. All visits are virtual for your convenience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m deeply committed to increasing access to quality mental health care for all, especially those facing barriers due to stigma. I believe in reducing stigma around psychiatric treatment by fostering open, honest conversations that normalize seeking help, including thoughtful medication management. I support trauma-informed care practices that recognize the impact of past experiences on mental health and advocate for holistic approaches addressing both mind and body. I also champion equitable healthcare that serves underserved communities, striving to create an inclusive, compassionate space where everyone feels valued and empowered to take charge of their mental wellness. Additionally, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring students and new clinicians, sharing knowledge and experience to help cultivate the next generation of compassionate, skilled mental health providers.
