Great to meet you!

Many people come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Some are struggling with trauma, mood swings, anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, or painful experiences they have carried for years while still trying to function in everyday life. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy through telehealth in a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment. I believe treatment works best as a partnership — you bring your experiences and goals, and together we create a plan that helps you feel more stable, empowered, and moving forward.

My approach to therapy

In addition to diagnosis and medication management, I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based eye movement therapy similar to EMDR that can help process trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, and distressing experiences without requiring extensive homework or the retelling of painful memories.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help you feel understood while creating meaningful and practical change in your life. I offer evening and weekend appointments, and clients are welcome to schedule directly online.
