I have been a board-certified Adult-Gerontological Primary Care Nurse Practitioner for 22 years and a Registered Nurse for 31 years. My diverse experience includes but is not limited to working on and managing inpatient psychiatric units, overseeing outpatient and inpatient detoxification facilities, outpatient partial hospitalization units, and being a consultant to various substance use inpatient and outpatient detoxification start-ups. I was fortunate to be part of the faculty at the University of Massachusetts for a decade, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

My diverse experiences have provided me with valuable insights that greatly enhance my ability to work with patients. Above all, I have a deep understanding of life's challenges and commend those who seek help.  My life's purpose is to provide support and help to others achieve their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
