Great to meet you!

Yes, I am accepting new clients. Yes, I have evening appointments.

I provide whole-person psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, depression, mood disorders, and personality-related concerns.

Our work goes beyond prescriptions. I integrate thoughtful medication management with practical CBT and DBT-based tools so you leave appointments with real strategies, not just dose changes. Many clients begin with more frequent support and then transition to monthly, quarterly, and even annual check-ins as their confidence and stability grow. My goal is to help you build lasting skills, not long-term dependency..

My approach to therapy

My approach to medication management is conservative and tailored to each individual's specific needs, ensuring that prescriptions are only recommended when necessary and appropriate. This client-centered approach creates a personalized, effective treatment plan addressing each persons' unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

If you're in search of a practitioner who values a holistic approach, respects individual preferences, and prioritizes the therapeutic alliance, I am here for you. Together, we can build resilience, navigate challenges, and work towards your mental health goals. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey to improved well-being.
