Not only am I extremely passionate about my practice, but I also provide clinical-based expertise and community-based education during conference presentations, workshops, health fairs, and podcasts.

Additionally, I am also a distinguished member of the Epsilon Omega Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society. Within the community, I actively serve on several committees for my local, state, and national organizations..

My approach to therapy

I am the self-proclaimed "Medication Minimalist". Let's treat your symptoms using the least medications.

I'll assist you in reviving the enjoyment and interest you once had in activities and hobbies. During treatment, we will discuss medications + holistic health and wellness strategies (including lifestyle modifications) to improve your overall quality of life. Together, we'll discuss interventions to help you reach your health and wellness goals.

Mental conditions often present as physical signs and symptoms (pain, sleep disturbances, cognitive impairment, and changes in appetite). Motivational interviewing, active listening, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapies are utilized with each client during each session.

We are delighted to collaborate with clients seeking to overcome depression, anxiety, and insomnia. These challenges often necessitate lifestyle modifications. However, the ideal client aims to achieve an overall improved quality of life.

We value your privacy and are committed to handling your affairs with care, confidentiality, and discretion. HIPAA-compliant communication systems utilized to ensure confidentiality.

We are committed to providing accessible, inclusive care for everyone. Professional language interpreter services and American Sign Language (ASL interpretation are available to support clear communication during your appointments. If you need language or ASL assistance, please let us know when scheduling so we can ensure appropriate services are arranged.
