Great to meet you!

Sometimes just getting through the day can feel like a full-time job. Finding a mental health provider who truly understands you may seem out of reach, but it’s absolutely possible. Before anything else, I’m human. I’m also a woman, born overseas and shaped by the diversity of a Southern metropolitan city. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and am passionate about partnering with patients as they move toward greater health, balance, and fulfillment. You don't have to navigate it all alone. You can exhale- we’ll take it from here, together.

My approach to therapy

I support patients with anxiety, depression, work stress and other concerns affecting both mental and physical well-being. As an experienced primary care provider, I can manage ongoing medical needs while you find the right long-term provider. I have extensive expertise in weight management and hair loss treatment given the strong connection between physical, mental health, and quality of life.

What you can expect from me

We'll get to know each other and explore what has brought you to this point. By the end of our first session, my hope is that you'll be able to exhale, knowing you have been heard, understood and equipped with a clear path forward
