Psychiatrists Beginning With E in Connecticut

Are you feeling tired, can't keep up with your daily routine, emotional for no reason, dealing with overwhelming stress? You may be struggling with untreated medical symptoms. These symptoms can be treated with the guidance of a physician. "Let's talk and see what happens." I hope to keep things as open as possible, because not every patient will present with a textbook case of issues. I strive to find a way to connect with each patient in a way that respects their autonomy and dignity.

Do you need a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, connect with me for compassionate, respectful, and client-centered care. I have many years of experience working with clients facing a wide spectrum of mental and behavioral health challenges. I am proficient in Depression, General anxiety disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other complex psychiatric conditions. I use a collaborative approach with other interdisciplinary teams and promote client-centered care and participation in decision-making related to their treatment options to optimize compliance and better treatment outcomes.

Welcome! I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. My philosophy is an integrative approach in treating the whole person - including the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors. I am a Connecticut native with European heritage and want to acknowledge the original habitants of the land I live on: the Hammonassets and Menunkatucks. I recognize myself as a privileged member of a white dominant world, and consistently try to challenge this norm. As a strong ally to marginalized communities, I do my best to promote inclusivity and improve access to psychiatric services.

Developing a trusted, professional relationship with patients is an important aspect of mental healthcare. I invite patients to express themselves openly in this non-judgmental, therapeutic office space. We work in collaboration and partnership to move toward improved mood and better mental health.
