Great to meet you!

I believe psychiatric care should feel like a real conversation, not a clinical interrogation. I believe in science, and I’m curious about what’s happening beneath the symptoms how brain chemistry, genetics, trauma, sleep, and physical health may be affecting the way you feel and function.

I’m solution focused. I want to understand what’s keeping you stuck, explain what I think is going on, and work with you on a wayI need initial intake documents to be completed so that we can spend more time during the visit. forward and treat the symptoms! I’ll be transparent about our progress, and I hope you’ll be honest with me, too. You can expect me to listen without judgment, challenge you when it’s helpful, and celebrate your wins alongside you.


I do require initial intake documents to be completed so we can spend more time in the visit.

My approach to therapy

Think of my care as a custom built toolkit. Being an integrative provider means I don’t stay boxed into just one way of thinking. I draw from various therapeutic and medical perspectives to create a plan that actually makes sense for your daily life. We might look at how stress shows up in your body, or how your habits influence your mood. It’s a collaborative process where we figure out what works for you, rather than trying to fit you into a rigid clinical mold

What you can expect from me

Our first session is where we connect the dots. I’ll listen to what’s been going on, identify the symptoms affecting your daily life, and ask what you’ve already tried. We’ll look at the full picture your health, sleep, stress, and goals so the treatment plan fits you rather than forcing you into a standard approach.

Before we finish, I’ll explain what I think may be happening, what treatment options make sense, and what our next step will be. We’ll also set up follow-up visits for medication management, where we’ll check what’s improving, address side effects, and adjust the plan when needed.
