As a parent of an ADHD child, I have been on the other side of healthcare and work hard to be fully committed to getting you the help you would like. It’s anxiety provoking to see a new provider, but know with decades of experience and passion for caring about my patients - I have earned Excellent Google Reviews - I will respond to my patients always within 48 hours (but I always check at the beginning and ending of everyday) b/c I know its frustrating to wait for a script to be refilled or to need to talk and have to wait a week (when the problem has passed).

My first approach is to listen and see what you would like and need. I don’t push medicine and have holistic background - I am very knowledgeable on medications and August 2025 I reviewed them all to obtain yet another certification. I learned to do CBT from the Father of CBT Aaron Beck and I practiced Motivational interviewing for 5 years; but mostly I am patient centered - meaning we work together as a team to find what works for you and not just what worked for others. You are unique and the goal is to make life better for you.

I am the Queen of Questions, so don’t worry if first session you are nervous about forgetting what to say. After 3 children, I am learned to be ultra patient and respectful. You have lived a unique life and together we can find ways to help any difficulties by noting strengths and previous challenges that were conquered. If you see/read/watch something on the computer that you wish to bring into session, I am happy to review things with you and will watch beforehand if you send it to me. I love learning with my patients -and sharing my training and experiences while listening to yours. I also am available if a crisis is occurring so we can meet as often as you need - and quickly meet. I won’t let you struggle alone - as a team we can work through all bumps in the road.
