Great to meet you!

I bring over 15 years of experience in neurointensive care, caring for individuals with psychiatric conditions, strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and other complex neurological conditions. This background has shaped my compassionate and holistic approach to mental health care, recognizing the strong connection between the mind and body.

I want my clients to know they do not have to go through this journey alone. Many people spend years pushing through anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or difficult life transitions before finally seeking support. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for.

I strive for every patient to leave each visit feeling empowered, hopeful, and confident in the path ahead.

My approach to therapy

My practice focuses on medication management, with brief supportive and problem-solving therapy integrated into follow-up visits. Referrals for more extensive psychotherapy are available.

I take a holistic and patient-centered approach to treatment, working to understand not only your symptoms, but also your life experiences, stressors, strengths, relationships, and goals. I believe effective mental health care should support the whole person—not just treat a diagnosis.

Together, we create an individualized treatment plan designed to improve emotional well-being, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.

What you can expect from me

I know that reaching out for mental health care can feel overwhelming, and many people feel hesitant to take that first step. My clients often tell me that once they do, they’re grateful they walked through my door—because they left feeling truly heard, understood, and supported. In our work together, you can expect to gain clarity, leave with a thoughtful plan, and walk away with a renewed sense of hope.
