I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and stress-related issues. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, medication management, and a strong emphasis on empathy and support. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work toward their mental wellness goals.
