Great to meet you!

I am deeply committed to enhancing the wellbeing of my clients and making a positive impact on this community. Originally from Atlanta, I discovered my passion for medicine while working as a pathology assistant at UCLA Ronald Reagan Hospital in Los Angeles. Encouraged by the physicians I worked alongside, I pursued my medical education at Ross University School of Medicine, where I earned a Doctorate of Medicine.

My approach to therapy

My approach to medicine is rooted in my belief that healthcare extends far beyond diagnosis and treatment—it’s about the holistic wellbeing of each individual. I was trained in various forms of psychotherapy, and incorporate these techniques into my practice as needed to best serve my clients.

What you can expect from me

I genuinely care about helping others and strive to foster strong therapeutic relationships built on trust and understanding. My professional journey is fueled by the desire to help society improve and to make a lasting impact on the daily lives of my clients. This commitment to the community is what continues to inspire me to work in the field of psychiatry. Known for my down-to-earth demeanor and relatability, I provide a supportive and accessible space for my clients, ensuring they feel heard, understood, and empowered to take charge of their health.
