Book your appointment directly from my website in my profile. Same day appointment available! I work with children and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. Clients often seek care when symptoms begin to affect work, school, relationships, or overall quality of life. I provide a structured, patient-centered approach that combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, personalized medication management, and therapy. I partner with clients to maintain stability.
I offer ADHD testing and treatment for children and adults. Testing is done online. I also specialize in Anxiety, Depression, panic disorder, PTSD and bipolar treatment. I offer both medication management and therapy
Everyone’s experience with mental health is unique. Some people seek care during a difficult life transition, others when symptoms begin to interfere with daily functioning, and some simply want to feel more balanced and supported. No matter where you are in that process, you deserve care that is respectful and centered on your individual needs.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
