I am a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner in the Quincy area who is also certified & trained for botulinum toxin injections. I have been working in the healthcare industry for over a decade, and my experience ranges from intensive critical care in the hospital setting, to complex case management in the community setting.

In the psychiatric setting, I enjoy treating my patients with a conservative approach to medications. I generally recommend seeing a therapist in addition to myself. I currently treat adolescents & adults in partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and individually. I provide initial evaluations and ongoing medication management for a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, substance dependence, & mood/behavioral disorders.

In the aesthetics setting, I focus solely on botulinum toxin injections at this time. I prefer the low risk yet significant results that these injectables can provide, with the ability to maintain a “natural” appearance. Of course, some of my clients do prefer less facial muscle movement, but I generally recommend lower doses. Botox can treat fine lines & wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles temporarily. It is also used for ‘lip flips’ and other cosmetic purposes. Some patients receive botox for migraines of teeth grinding as a result of TMJ (or to narrow the appearance of the jawline!)
