About Dr. Herald

I am an ABPN board-certified psychiatrist practicing in the Boston area. I earned my medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School and completed my residency training at Cambridge Health Alliance, where I was a clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School. My clinical experience encompasses outpatient, inpatient, and emergency psychiatry settings.

I provide comprehensive treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions through an integrative approach combining medication management with psychotherapy.

With a foundation in academic medicine, I prioritize staying current with evolving psychiatric research to deliver evidence-based care. My clinical philosophy centers on employing compassion, curiosity, and a touch of humor to foster a trusting relationship with the people I work with and empower them to achieve their personal mental health goals.

I specialize in the treatment of adults presenting with mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and psychotic disorders. I also have significant experience and interest in working with LGBTQ+ individuals.

***I seek to create a safe, inclusive, exploratory environment. All people are welcomed here. ***
