About Me
Dan decided to become a Nurse Practitioner because he felt that it would provide a flexible and holistic framework to offer support for those dealing with mental health and medical issues. While grounded in evidence based practices, Dan has a long history studying alternative medicine which compliments his approach to caring for the whole person. He has a private practice on the North Shore.
Dan graduated with honors from MGH's Institute of Health Professions with a dual certification in Adult Primary Care and Adult Psychiatry / Mental Health. He is certified by the ANCC and AANP as an Adult Nurse Practitioner, and by the ANCC as an Adult Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Adult Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist. While in school Dan spent clinical training time on medical and psychiatric units at Massachusetts General Hospital, the Cambridge Health Alliance, and the Bedford VA Hospital. Dan also worked on McLean Hospital's Bipolar and Schizophrenia floor for five years as a mental health specialist and as a staff nurse.
I see my relationship with clients as a partnership - working together you can feel valued and respected, and confident in the choice of treatment.
Dan is a member of the Sigma Theta Tau National Honor Society of Nursing, the Massachusetts Coalition of Nurse Practitioners, as well as a serving member of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Health Service Corps.
