About
Building a trusting, compassionate partnership is the foundation of meaningful mental health care and lasting recovery.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 13 years of experience supporting adults in their mental health and recovery journeys. Throughout my career, I have worked as both a nurse clinician and nurse practitioner in community mental health settings, including providing outpatient behavioral health services. I specialize in addiction medicine and treat alcohol and opioid use disorders, as well as a range of behavioral health concerns. My approach centers on respect, dignity, safety, and whole-person well-being.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Quinnipiac University. I utilize medication-assisted treatment using Suboxone, buprenorphine, oral naltrexone, and acamprosate. I prioritize building strong therapeutic alliances and collaborative treatment plans.
I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can openly share your concerns and work toward your recovery goals. Together, we will develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs, helping you strengthen resilience, gain stability, and move forward with confidence.

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 Manchester, CT 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.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Manchester can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

As we explained above, psychiatrists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders. You should seek a psychiatrist’s help if you are experiencing harmful symptoms of a mental health condition. The following symptoms are common and also damaging:
If you are experiencing all or some of these symptoms, you might be suffering with a mental illness. It’s important that you talk to a psychiatrist about how you are feeling so that they can assess your case and put together a plan for helping you heal.
Counseling, or therapy, proves time and time again to help people heal, grow, and manage their challenges. This is exactly why we offer counseling services here at Thriveworks. However, sometimes counseling isn’t the only treatment that someone needs. There are instances where individuals need or can benefit from taking a prescription medication.
Psychiatric providers are in a unique position, compared with other mental health professionals, in that they can prescribe medication to their clients. Again, these individuals studied psychiatry, which is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. If they determine that medication might help your condition, they will instruct you on exactly how to take your medication.
They will also detail the potential negative side effects of your medication and continue to monitor any negative side effects. Sometimes, the first medication that is prescribed isn’t the right fit and that’s okay. Your Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioner will stay by your side throughout this journey and help you find a prescription medication that is the right fit.
