Great to meet you!

I’m board-certified in both Adult Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. In my work with both teens and adults, I take a thoughtful, compassionate approach to concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My goal is to provide personalized, collaborative care that supports both your emotional well-being and the biological factors that affect mental health.

My approach to therapy

You can expect a warm, engaged partnership that focuses on understanding you as a whole person. I take the time to learn about your history, values, and goals, and I thoughtfully integrate medication with therapeutic insight to support lasting emotional growth and stability.

What you can expect from me

My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, with an appreciation for how early experiences and relationships can shape patterns in your life today. I combine this understanding with evidence-based medication management to provide care that’s thoughtfully tailored to you and your stage of life.
