Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Natalie, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with two years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Rhode Island, specializing in anxiety, depression, and college and graduate student mental health. My post-graduate psychiatric specialization was completed at Vanderbilt University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.

My style is thoughtful, patient-centered care. By creating a welcoming and comfortable environment where concerns are listened to, I work collaboratively with clients to help them reach their mental health treatment goals. I take a holistic treatment approach that incorporates therapy, medication management, along with lifestyle modification and client education, to create the best individualized treatment for each person.
