My practice specializes in medication management and comprehensive psychiatric assessment for adults experiencing ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, and substance use challenges. I believe in collaborative care that addresses not just symptoms, but the whole person—recognizing how these conditions affect daily life, work performance, and relationships.

I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can openly discuss your experiences and concerns. My approach combines evidence-based treatments with compassionate understanding to help restore balance and improve your quality of life. For those struggling with depression, I offer specialized medication strategies alongside supportive care to help lift the burden of persistent low mood, fatigue, and loss of interest. In addressing substance use issues, I provide integrated treatment that recognizes the complex interplay between substance use and other psychiatric conditions.

Whether you're seeking answers to long-standing symptoms, struggling with recent changes in your mental health, feeling overwhelmed by depression, working toward recovery from substance use, or looking to optimize your current treatment plan, my goal is to work alongside you to develop a personalized treatment approach that respects your individual needs, preferences, and recovery goals while providing effective medication management to address your symptoms.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My practice is built on a simple idea: I treat everyone with respect and kindness—just how I'd want to be treated myself.

I work differently with each person who comes to see me. I use tests and methods that have been proven to work, but I always adapt them to fit your unique needs and what works best for you. There's no one-size-fits-all approach in therapy, and I honor your individuality at every step.

I create a safe space where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself without judgment. This therapeutic environment allows for honest exploration and growth. I combine evidence-based methods with genuine compassion, recognizing that effective therapy addresses both the science of healing and the human connection that makes it possible.

I believe that meaningful progress happens when you're actively involved in your own care. We work together as partners, collaborating to identify goals, develop strategies, and celebrate progress. Your insights and feedback are essential parts of our therapeutic journey.

My commitment to your wellbeing extends beyond our sessions. I continually pursue professional development and stay current with the latest research to ensure I can provide the most effective support possible. This dedication to ongoing learning allows me to offer you innovative approaches alongside tried-and-true therapeutic techniques.

Throughout our work together, I maintain the highest ethical standards and professional boundaries while creating a relationship built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. My ultimate goal is to help you develop the insights and skills you need to thrive, not just in our sessions, but in your everyday life.

What you can expect from our first session

In my practice, I emphasize that medications are valuable but just one tool among many for mental health treatment. I work with each person to explore all available options for their wellbeing.

My comprehensive approach begins with thorough assessments covering biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors affecting your health. I explain each potential intervention in accessible language, outlining benefits, possible side effects, and alternatives for comparison.

This transparent communication includes discussing expected timelines, adjustment periods, and potential interactions between treatments. I use clear language and visual aids when helpful to ensure understanding.

I believe in collaborative decision-making that respects your autonomy while incorporating my clinical expertise. Our treatment discussions explore evidence-based therapies, lifestyle changes, stress management techniques, social support systems, and meaningful activities. Your cultural background, preferences, and treatment history all inform my recommendations.

I continuously monitor progress and remain flexible about adjusting our approach as needed. Questions and feedback are always welcome—effective treatment plans evolve through ongoing dialogue.

My goal is to empower you with knowledge and support for making informed choices about your care and developing sustainable strategies for long-term wellbeing. Having guided many through their healing journey, I know that what seems overwhelming today often becomes manageable with time and proper support.
