Great to meet you!

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate from UCLA, specializing in mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, and burnout, particularly for people who've felt like standard approaches haven't quite fit. My care integrates medication management, psychotherapy, and evidence-informed lifestyle strategies into a treatment plan built around you as an individual, not a diagnosis.

My approach to therapy

I take a comprehensive and inquisitive approach to care, looking beyond symptoms to understand the full context of your life and health. Treatment is collaborative and grounded in science, with medication used judiciously when it aligns with your goals and clinical needs. I also emphasize sleep, stress management, nutrition, and behavioral interventions when they meaningfully support recovery. My goal is long-term and sustainable mental wellness, as opposed to short-term symptom relief alone.

What you can expect from me

You can expect depth, clarity, and partnership. Our work begins with a thorough assessment and a genuine conversation about what you're hoping for and what might help most. I strive to create a calm, respectful space where you feel both supported and challenged toward growth. If you're looking for nuanced, integrative psychiatric care that honors both science and complexity, we may be a strong fit.
