Great to meet you!

I'm a psychiatric provider dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and PTSD with care that feels personal, not rushed. I know reaching out for support takes courage, and I want every client to feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation. My practice is rooted in collaboration — I see treatment as a partnership where your goals, preferences, and lived experiences shape the path forward. Whether you're considering medication for the first time or looking for a fresh perspective, I'll meet you where you are and work alongside you toward feeling more like yourself.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect. I treat every client as the expert on their own life and pair that with evidence-based psychiatric care. I take time to listen, explain options clearly, and tailor treatment — including medication when appropriate — to what fits each person's needs.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a conversation — not a test. We'll talk through your history, current concerns, and goals at a pace that feels comfortable. I'll explain how I think about treatment, answer your questions, and we'll decide together on next steps. You'll leave with a clear sense of the plan and feeling truly heard.
