Great to meet you!

I believe that each person brings a unique story shaped by their life experiences, values, and cultural background. My clinical work has taken place across a variety of settings—including academic institutions, state hospitals, and community mental health clinics—which has helped me develop a flexible, respectful, and collaborative approach to care.

My approach to therapy

I focus on medication management for adults and also offer brief psychotherapy and psychoeducation to support emotional healing and personal growth. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, always tailored to your individual needs. I value teamwork and enjoy working closely with your therapist to ensure your care feels connected and supportive.

What you can expect from me

Patients can expect a thoughtful and collaborative approach to medication management, where their experiences, concerns, and values are heard and respected.

My goal is to help you feel more stable, supported, and informed about your treatment options. I aim to create a space where patients can ask questions freely, make decisions with confidence, and feel like an active partner in their care.

To help set expectations clearly, please note that I do not:

– Prescribe stimulants (including Adderall, Ritalin, etc.)

– Prescribe high doses of benzodiazepines (including Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, etc.)

– Prescribe Xanax (Alprazolam), however, I’m glad to help cross-titrate to another benzodiazepine at a lower dose when clinically appropriate.

Upon confirming your appointment, you will receive an email from CHARM Health, the HIPAA-compliant electronic health record system I use. Please follow the instructions in the email to create your account and complete the intake questionnaire. This information will help me better understand your needs and provide more personalized care.
