I came to psychiatry because I wanted to understand people fully, not just treat symptoms. I work with adults managing anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I like to slow down and get curious about what is really going on before jumping to a plan. I ask a lot of questions, because good care starts with listening closely. I am starting a private practice built around the idea that patients should feel like partners in their own care, not just recipients of a prescription. I want sessions to feel collaborative, where we figure things out together and stay open to adjusting course as we learn more about what works for you.

My approach is collaborative and curious. I ask a lot of questions so I understand the full picture of your anxiety, depression, or PTSD before suggesting a plan. I stay open minded about what treatment should look like and want you involved in every decision about your care.

Expect a conversation, not a checklist. We will talk through what brought you in, whether that is anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and I will ask plenty of questions so we build a plan together. You should leave feeling heard and clear on next steps.
