Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatrist with 16 years of experience providing care in outpatient and inpatient settings. I have been privileged to work with people across a broad spectrum of psychiatric conditions, from anxiety and mood disorders to complex trauma, thought disorders, and personality disorders.

I currently focus on treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychosis, and ADHD in adults 18 and older.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in traditional psychiatry and faith-integrated treatment plans. I also have a client-centered approach and strongly encourage partnership in treatment decision-making. I aim to offer a non-judgmental environment where individuals can feel comfortable seeking help and create a welcoming space where patients feel heard, understood, and supported.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you can share your story and what you hope to achieve in treatment. We’ll work together to figure this out! I also incorporate strategies that address lifestyle issues like sleep, nutrition, and stress management into my treatment plans and practice evidence-based medicine. By offering a holistic approach, I empower patients to take control of their mental health naturally and sustainably while providing hope and encouragement.
