Great to meet you!

I want to get you feeling and doing better and to become the healthiest mental and physical version of yourself. I bring genuine curiosity and medical knowledge/experience to our visits to achieve this. I strive to understand your whole health story and then create a health plan to get you feeling your best. I see my work with you as a collaboration, and I want you to feel heard, respected, and hopeful from day one. My job isn't to create a patient. My job is to help you become the best version of yourself.

My approach to therapy

I come to each visit with genuine warmth and curiosity, listening carefully before offering any direction. I like to collaborate with you. I may have medical knowledge, but you're the expert on you. Let's work together to make sure every visit feels like a step forward towards a healthier future.

What you can expect from me

During our initial visit, I want to hear what has been weighing on you, what you have already tried, and what your goals for treatment are. By the end, you will have a clear sense of how we might work together and what comes next. If you want to feel better and be the best version of you, let's talk and start the process to make it happen.
