Great to meet you!

I specialize in psychiatric medication management for adults, helping patients with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders achieve measurable symptom improvement quickly and safely. With over 13 years of mental health experience, I focus on accurate diagnosis, optimized medication strategies, and ongoing adjustments to ensure you feel better, not just heard. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ adults and provide affirming, evidence-based care tailored to the unique stressors and experiences that can impact mental health.

My approach to therapy

My approach is structured, data-driven, and medication-focused.

I use evidence-based prescribing, careful dose titration, and ongoing symptom tracking to guide treatment decisions. Appointments are focused on what is working, what is not, and how to improve it efficiently.

While I may incorporate brief supportive or behavioral strategies when helpful, my primary focus is effective medication management, not weekly therapy.

What you can expect from me

First Visit:

Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, Clear diagnosis (if appropriate), Initial medication plan (when indicated)

Follow-Ups:

Precise medication adjustments, Side effect management, Ongoing optimization for best results

I prioritize clear communication, timely adjustments, and minimizing trial-and-error, so you can start seeing meaningful progress.
