Great to meet you!

As a board-certified psychiatric provider, I specialize in working with adults navigating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My approach blends evidence-based care with deep empathy, ensuring each client feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.

My approach to therapy

I integrate medication management with a strong focus on psychoeducation, lifestyle interventions, and collaborative goal-setting. Whether you're new to psychiatric care or continuing your healing process, I tailor my approach to support your unique needs and preferences. I’m also passionate about reducing stigma and promoting access to high-quality mental health care.

What you can expect from me

I accept multiple insurance plans to help reduce financial barriers to care. I offer virtual sessions with flexible scheduling options, and I strive to create a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds. If you’re ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I’m here to help.
