Welcome to Serene Minds Mental Health PLLC! Are you having a hard time controlling your emotions? Perhaps find yourself wondering why forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, or distractability have become a part of your daily life. Maybe getting out of bed is a struggle, motivation is non-existent, and tearfulness strikes without any reason. Are nighttime sleep disturbances, frequent waking, and subsequent exhaustion affecting your well-being? Are you feeling anxious, panicky, past traumas left you feeling on edge? You don't have to navigate these these challenges alone. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength.
My approach is to find the root cause of the issue; medications are one part of the puzzle; I am currently doing functional psychiatry fellowship and incorporate my learning to help treat mental health conditions using holistic approach including medications, supplements, testing, gut microbiome, and behavioral modifications.
I believe in building trust & LISTEN, feel patients' concerns are heard, respected, confidential and to develop a collaborative partnership in the your mental health treatment. If you are looking for a provider who is compassionate, non-judgmental, approachable; please contact me to start your mental health wellness journey. I'm here to help!

I work with patients in understanding the root cause of their mental health issue. For example when someone comes to me with "anxiety", we will delve deeply into understanding where the anxiety is stemming from; because anxiety could be from stress, sleep issues, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, ADHD, substance use or trauma. It is important to treat the core issue.
