Who am I?
I graduated from UMass Chan Medical School in 2018 and completed my psychiatry residency and child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at UMass Chan in 2023. I have completed a neuropsychiatry fellowship with the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services and Department of Mental Health. I've trained in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral therapy as well as play therapy. My therapeutic approach focuses on building insight, engaging compassion, and understanding family structures and how these interact with mood, attention, developmental and behavioral presentations. Together, we work to build understanding and readiness to attend to life's challenges.

Where do I work?
I have a small private practice in North Grafton, MA. My office is part of a small suite with a waiting room, kitchenette, and a bathroom. No stairs are needed to get to my office as I'm on the ground floor.
As a solo-practitioner, I provide direct service to families and individuals under my care. That means that when you call or e-mail, I am the one who will answer. When we book an appointment, it will be with me. I offer personalized, individualized psychiatric care with a focus on therapy.
My canine assistant, Loki, offers therapeutic support on request and when his schedule allows.
