What clients may notice about my therapeutic style:
As a nurse I utilize a mind, body, spirit approach to emotional wellbeing. You will likely notice that I am encouraging you to care for each of these essential areas. Together we will discuss how medication may or may not assist you in attending to this important triad. Most people find me direct, kind and open minded. I enjoy working collaboratively with people and actively include those I see in the decision-making process.
Professional Memberships:
- American Nurses Association
- Massachusetts Association of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses (MAAPPN)
When I’m not at work...
I enjoy walking in the woods, whether I’m wandering on my own, in a good conversation with a friend, or out running with my dog.
I also enjoy cooking and savoring the spice of life, particularly through exploring new things and places. My passion for travel drives me to seek out unconventional destinations, and has enriched my life with off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
