I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) serving the Quincy area. With over a decade of healthcare experience—beginning as a registered nurse in critical care and acute hospital settings in 2015—I have learned firsthand that mental wellness is deeply connected to physical health. Because of this, I take a truly holistic, whole-person approach to psychiatry. When we work together, I look beyond standard symptom management to carefully consider your diet, lifestyle, and co-occurring medical conditions, frequently incorporating natural supplements alongside traditional psychopharmacology.

Psychiatric Care & Medication Management I currently treat adolescents (ages 13+) and adults across a variety of settings, from my individual private practice to high-acuity Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). I provide comprehensive evaluations and ongoing medication management for a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, mood and behavioral disorders, and substance dependence.

I believe in safe, sustainable, and conservative prescribing. My psychiatric specialties include:

• Dual Diagnosis & MAT: I actively treat substance use alongside mental health conditions, offering Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) such as Suboxone, Brixadi, and Vivitrol.

• Safe Tapering: I do not maintain patients on long-term, daily benzodiazepines. Instead, I specialize in partnering with patients to safely and comfortably taper off of them.

• Collaborative Care: I strongly believe in the power of therapy and generally recommend that my patients see a therapist in addition to our medication management work to ensure a well-rounded support system.

Aesthetics & Therapeutic Botox In addition to psychiatric care, I am certified and trained in botulinum toxin injections. While my primary focus is mental health, I continue to offer Botox because I appreciate the low-risk, significant results these injectables provide. I prefer using lower doses to help clients maintain a beautifully "natural" appearance and smooth fine lines. Beyond cosmetics (like the popular "lip flip"), I also utilize Botox for therapeutic relief, including treating migraines and relaxing the jaw muscles for patients struggling with TMJ or teeth grinding.

Whether you are looking to build a sustainable path forward for your mental health, seeking relief from TMJ, or simply wanting to refresh your appearance, I look forward to working with you.
