Great to meet you!

As a board-certified psychiatrist fellowship-trained in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, I provide evidence-based, holistic care for children, teens, and adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, behavior concerns, grief, trauma, or any other mental health challenge. My integrative approach considers mind, body, personal values, and environment, helping patients and families develop coping strategies to thrive and restore balance. Virtual appointments are available in all Louisiana, including Shreveport, Bossier, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Alexandria, Lafayette, Monroe, surrounding areas and Texas.

My approach to therapy

Together, we can understand underlying causes, build coping skills, and create personalized strategies for emotional and behavioral health. Using a trauma-informed, holistic approach, I combine therapy, lifestyle guidance, and medication management when needed, always minimizing unnecessary medications and supporting your overall physical and mental health.

What you can expect from me

If you or your loved one are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, grieving, or confused, you are not alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive space to explore challenges, gain insight, and find relief. I invite you to reach out so we can work together toward healing, balance, and lasting well-being.
