Great to meet you!

My practice is rooted in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care designed to help you navigate and improve your mental well-being. I believe in a comprehensive treatment model with evidence-based medication management and tailored interventions.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and the mental health complexities of chronic medical illness. My expertise also extends to sleep disorders, stress reduction, and dual diagnosis.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a holistic framework, blending various psychotherapeutic modalities to meet you where you are. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thought patterns, Motivational Interviewing to spark personal growth, and a Person-Centered philosophy that ensures your voice remains the priority in every session.

What you can expect from me

I maintain a calm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and supported. My goal is to build a genuine rapport, working collaboratively to set goals that are both achievable and deeply relevant to your life's purpose. Our initial meeting is a comprehensive deep dive. We will review your history, including clinical, somatic, and substance use, conduct a risk assessment and mental status exam, and ultimately co-create your diagnosis and treatment plan.
