About
I believe it’s important for all patients, regardless of age, to have access to top-quality mental health services.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse clinical settings, gaining experience in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, and behavioral health concerns across the lifespan. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Regis College. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach, integrating supportive therapy, solution-focused strategies, and medication management when appropriate.
I believe that healing begins with feeling heard and understood. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can openly share your concerns and work toward meaningful change. Together, we will develop a personalized plan to help you manage symptoms, build resilience, and move toward improved mental wellness.

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Quincy, MA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
