Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Peoria, AZ

I have extensive experience working with families—including both birth and foster families—involved in DCS care, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Through this work, I have supported clients in managing complex family dynamics, coping with loss and transition, and building skills to support long-term stability and well-being.

Most recently, I worked in a primary care setting, where I gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. This experience has strengthened my awareness of how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, stress levels, and overall quality of life. I integrate this perspective into my work, helping clients address both the emotional and practical aspects of living with ongoing health challenges.

This provider believes in caring for the patient as a whole and works collaboratively with each individual to address their unique needs. An individualized treatment plan is developed for every patient to ensure the most appropriate and effective care.

With over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, I have had the opportunity to help clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of psychiatric challenges. My experience includes working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals as well as completing internships in outpatient settings, where I have cared for patients across different age groups.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate care and delivering safe and effective treatment to all my patients.
