I am a psychiatrist, a physician, a mother, a spouse, a daughter, a sibling, a teacher, and a student. I will bring all of these perspectives, and more, to our work together. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, tic disorders / BFRBs, and mood disorders. I take a whole-person approach to mental health care that considers your physical health, nutritional status, lifestyle, family life, and work environment. I consider us to be partners in your care. I will make suggestions for your treatment based on my knowledge and experience, and you will make decisions about how to move forward.
I offer evidence-based treatment utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychotropic medications, and nutritional interventions. Treatment is tailored to each individual's specific needs and goals.
Life is hard and sometimes we get stuck. No matter what circumstances led you to look for help today, I applaud you for taking this first step toward healing. In our work together I will guide you and give you the tools you need to connect with your highest, truest self – your “inscape”.
