Great to meet you!

I want patients to feel comfortable bringing their real concerns into the room, whether they are dealing with anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep problems, attention concerns, stress, or major life changes.

My style is warm, direct, and grounded. I value honest conversation, careful assessment, and treatment plans that make sense for the person in front of me rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

My approach to therapy

I believe patients should have a voice in their care. If a patient has a medication preference, I take that seriously and consider it carefully, while also making sure the plan is clinically appropriate and safe.

That means I am open to discussing the medication a patient feels may help, but I also talk through benefits, side effects, alternatives, and safety concerns so we can make decisions responsibly together.

What you can expect from me

Attentive listening

You can expect to be listened to with respect and without judgment.

Clear recommendations

I will be honest about what I think is most likely to help, and I will explain the reasoning behind treatment options.

Shared decision-making

Your goals and preferences matter. I want treatment to feel like something we build together, not something handed down to you.
