Great to meet you!

I'm a board-certified psychiatrist who enjoys working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, career stress and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative and conversational. I believe effective psychiatric care begins with understanding the whole person- not just their symptoms, but also their relationships, goals and everyday life.

My clinical background has allowed me to care for individuals across a broad spectrum of needs, from those navigating everyday stressors and life transitions to those experiencing more complex or acute psychiatric symptoms. While medication can be an important and sometimes essential part of treatment, I believe meaningful psychiatric care extends beyond medication alone. The way we feel is often influenced by many interconnected parts of our lives, including our relationships, work, sleep, exercise, substance use, daily habits, and the ways we cope with difficult emotions and experiences.

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly about what’s going on in your life and feel genuinely heard. Together, we can explore not only your symptoms, but also the experiences, patterns, and coping strategies that may be contributing to how you feel. Ultimately, my goal is to understand you as a whole person and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, stable, fulfilling, and authentically your own.

My approach to therapy

I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your concerns, and being honest about what is or isn’t working for you. I’ll always explain my recommendations and the reasoning behind them so that we can make treatment decisions together.

When medication may be helpful, we’ll talk through the benefits, potential side effects, and other options so you feel comfortable with the plan. There’s no one size fits all approach to mental health, so we’ll continue to check in, make adjustments when needed, and find an approach that works best for you.

What you can expect from me

Our first visit is really just a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what’s been going on. We’ll talk through what brought you in, what you’d like help with, what you’ve tried before, and what you’re hoping to feel or do differently.

There’s plenty of room for questions, and I want you to feel comfortable being open about what you do and don’t want from treatment. From there, we’ll figure out what makes the most sense for you and come up with a plan together.
