About AMHAW

Welcome!

Advanced Mental Health and Wellness (AMHAW) is a private practice serving patients in Massachusetts. I am here to treat the whole person using evidence-based practice, and offering therapy and medication if needed. A psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, such as I am, provides a unique holistic care approach that bridges the gap between physical and mental health care. These practitioners specialize in psychiatry and possess in-depth knowledge and skills in assessing and diagnosing patients, interpreting medical tests, prescribing medication, and collaborating with each patient, their families, and other providers in the course of care. AMHAW is dedicated to communication, forming, and maintaining therapeutic relationships, and providing a safe and healing environment in a truly patient-centered therapeutic approach to your care. The fundamental goal is to meet your needs and work towards your mental health and wellness goals. 

  My treatment approach is holistic, person-centered, and based on the collaborative recovery model. I use multiple modalities – focusing on connectedness and social support, and emphasizing health, home, purpose, and community – to help you achieve improved health and wellness, a self-directed life, and your full potential. I also employ a medical model to rule out underlying physiological causes and to help determine the use of medications for treatment. 

I guarantee that each individual seeking care through AMHAW will be treated fairly with respect, compassion, and inclusion. My goal in caring for you is to recognize you as an individual and implement a care plan tailored to your unique needs, valuing diversity.
