Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate psychiatric provider that is dedicated to my practice. I started my psychiatric career as a technician in forensic psychiatry. I worked with individuals who had comitted crimes and were either attempting to determine competency, or were found not guilty by reason of insanity. As my education blossomed, I began working as a nurse on a child and adolescent crisis stabilization unit. I found a massive love for child and adolescent psychiatry and spent most of my career working crisis stabilization and residential psychiatric care for children and adolescents. This gave me significant experience working with many different cultures. After I graduated with my doctorate, I began working psychiatric outpatient. I now see patients of all ages (children 4+, adolescents, adults and geriatric). I thrive on a strong therapeutic relationship and making sure my patients feel heard. I am open minded and non-bias. You are safe with me.

My approach to therapy

I am a dedicated psychiatric provider that believes in a collaborative approach. I believe treatment is a team effort that we both have to be comfortable with in order for you to be your best self. I promise to listen to your needs and work dilligently to provide you the best care possible.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will involve an open conversation about your history and what you are seeking to change. I try to make my sessions as comfortable as possible, but I also understand the weight of these topics. I will provide a listening ear, non-bias and a willingness to help.
