Specialized Mental Health Care

I partner with you to navigate life's mental health challenges through thoughtful medication management and supportive therapeutic conversations. My practice specializes in treating ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and other mood disorders that can affect your daily life, relationships, and sense of wellbeing.

Your Personalized Care Journey

Our work begins with a comprehensive evaluation where I listen carefully to understand your unique experiences, symptoms, and goals. This foundation allows us to create a treatment plan that truly addresses your specific needs.

When medication is part of your treatment, we'll start thoughtfully and adjust based on your individual response. I'll take time to explain your options, potential benefits, and possible side effects in clear, straightforward language. Regular check-ins ensure we can fine-tune your care for the best possible results.

Beyond Medication

Effective mental health care extends beyond prescriptions. I'll help you understand your condition and develop practical coping strategies that work for your life. Together, we'll identify supportive lifestyle factors like sleep patterns, stress management techniques, and building strong support networks.

My goal is to empower you with knowledge and tools that build resilience and create lasting wellness.

I recognize that psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants and stimulants, are just one component of a comprehensive treatment plan. I work closely with my patients to explore all available options, providing thorough education about the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives of each approach. Together, we evaluate the evidence and make informed decisions about a treatment plan that aligns with their specific needs, values, and lifestyle preferences.

I believe in treating each client with the utmost respect and compassion, just as I would want to be treated myself. My approach incorporates evidence-based screening tools and assessment methods, which I tailor to suit each individual's unique needs and preferences. For those interested, I also offer Genesight testing to help guide our treatment decisions.

My practice focuses on creating a safe, judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns. I draw from various therapeutic modalities including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches, selecting techniques that best address each client's specific challenges.

I maintain a collaborative relationship with my clients, involving them in all treatment decisions. Regular progress assessments help us adjust our approach as needed, ensuring we're moving toward meaningful improvement.

My educational background includes specialized training in trauma-informed care, mood disorders, and anxiety management. I'm committed to ongoing professional development to provide the most current, effective care possible.

I believe strong relationships are foundational to mental wellness, and I'm passionate about helping people build healthier connections.

My goal is to make quality mental healthcare accessible to everyone who needs it. Taking that first step can be challenging, but you don't have to face it alone.
