About me

Hello there! Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or looking for the right treatment to support your mental health? You’re in the right place. My name is Dr. Dilys, and I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Massachusetts. With over 17 years of experience caring for patients across the lifespan, I combine medical expertise with compassion and attentive listening. Together, we’ll find the right balance of therapy and treatment that fits you. At our practice, we treat every patient like family, and I look forward to meeting you!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session will be a comfortable and confidential space where we can get to know each other. I will take the time to listen and understand what brings you in, including your concerns, experiences, and goals for treatment. Together, we will discuss your history, explore what has been working or not, and begin building a personalized care plan that meets your needs. You can expect a calm, judgment-free environment where you feel heard and supported. My goal for this first visit is to help you feel at ease and to provide you with a clear sense of direction for your mental health journey. The initial session typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes for new evaluations. If you have any records that I need to review, please send them to me prior to the visit. Additionally, please complete all forms before our meeting.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a PMHNP is my ability to build therapeutic rapport and conduct thorough assessments through telehealth. I use both evidence-based tools and active listening to connect with patients, ensuring they feel understood and supported, even without being physically present. What makes my approach different is that I truly listen. Each session is a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients can feel heard and understood. I focus on building trust and developing personalized care plans that cater to individuals' unique needs and circumstances. My goal is not just to help patients feel better, but to help them thrive—mentally, emotionally, and socially.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained—but are ready to make a change. My ideal clients are people who want to rediscover peace, confidence, and purpose in their lives. Whether they’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or burnout, I support them in building healthier thought patterns, improving emotional regulation, and finding hope again.
