Psychotherapy & Psychopharmacology in Connecticut (CT)
I was born and raised in Spfld. Mass and knew from an early age that helping people was my calling. I graduated from Springfield Technical Community College with a degree in Liberal Arts, and from Baystate Medical Center with a 3 year diploma in Nursing.
An internship at The Institute Of Living in Hartford Ct. allowed me to realize that I wanted to help people help themselves. My career in psychiatric nursing was born.
I subsequently earned a BA at The Elms College in Chicopee Mass. and a Masters degree in counseling and psychologicaal services from Springfield College.
I've held clinical positions at Baystate Medical Center, Manchester Hospital, Veteran's Memorial medical Center and Lawrence and Memorial Hospital.
I also held a clinical teaching position at Capital Community College.
I've been in private practice since 1986. In 1996 I became and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with prescriptive authority.
I provide both psychotherapy and medications if necessary.
