Great to meet you!

I'm a psychiatric provider who believes meaningful care starts with feeling genuinely understood. I specialize in depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and stress-related conditions, and I also work extensively with complex and treatment-resistant cases that require nuanced assessment. My background includes advanced psychopharmacologic management, attention to sleep-related factors, and experience in high-acuity and correctional settings, where subtle clinical details truly matter. Outside of work, I value balance and reflection—I enjoy running and staying active, reading and reflective writing, and spending quality time with my family, which helps ground the way I show up for my clients.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply collaborative. I see treatment as a partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. I’m especially skilled at recognizing patterns others may miss and integrating psychiatric, sleep, medical, and life-context factors to individualize care. I’m passionate about mental health because effective treatment requires both careful clinical reasoning and deep listening, and I continually refine my approach as new evidence and insights emerge.

What you can expect from me

Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or frustrated after trying multiple treatments without meaningful improvement, and I take that experience seriously. In our first session, you can expect a thorough, unrushed conversation where we explore what hasn’t worked, what matters most to you, and how your symptoms fit into the bigger picture of your life. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and hopeful—with a clear, individualized plan moving forward.
